Affordable housing fight gets center stage in court
The court battle over the fate of the Council on Affordable Housing continued today, with the Fair Share Housing Center arguing a move by the Gov. Chris Christie administration to bring COAH’s duties under gubernatorial oversight is unlawful.
Christie in June announced COAH would be abolished, and its functions transferred to the Department of Community Affairs — effectively giving the governor authority over affordable housing responsibilities.
In its appeal in Superior Court today, Adam Gordon, an attorney with Fair Share Housing Center, said that transfer was unlawful. (Eder, NJBIZ)
