The Township has allocated $100,000 from its housing trust fund to HOMECorp, a local affordable housing developer, towards the development of two affordable housing units at 87 Mission Street. The units are located within an existing building which was once accessory to a single-family house at 19 Elmwood Avenue.
The Planning Board approved the subdivision of the property to place the building on its own parcel of land. The two units will be deed-restricted for occupancy by a low and a moderate income household and will count towards the Township’s COAH housing obligation.
Montclair collects fees from developers of market rate housing which are placed in a dedicated fund to be used to create affordable housing within the community. The fund has approximately $370,000 remaining. The Township has funded other HOMECorp affordable housing projects, including 43 Glenridge Avenue and 55 Glenridge Avenue, and will assist with the construction of new units at 53-55 New Street. |

The Township has prepared a Housing Element and Fair Share Plan for substantive certification by the NJ Council on Affordable Housing (COAH). The Plan may be downloaded here. The Plan was submitted to COAH in December, 2008. Our 2005 Plan was submitted but never acted upon due to litigation brought against COAH by various groups in the State. At the conclusion of that litigation, COAH’s redrafted third-round regulations became effective in June. They were followed by several amendments which are still in the comment period. Communities wishing to participate in the COAH process must prepare their Plans pursuant to the adopted third-round rules as well as the pending amendments.
