Affordable Housing

January 1, 1900

The attorneys who specialize in the area of affordable housing represent and advise developers on various issues related to affordable housing, including Council on Affordable Housing (COAH) regulations and procedures, municipal affordable housing ordinances and fair share plans, builders remedy lawsuits, and financing for affordable housing developments, such as state funding and the federal low income housing tax credit program.

Affordable housing/COAH matters are a complicated and ever-changing area of the law that requires legal guidance and advice for both residential and non-residential projects as well as the institutions financing these developments.

The following links provide additional information about the latest developments by COAH.
