May 2025 Affordable Housing Update for Randolph Township

From the Township of Randolph, NJ - 

Municipalities are now busy drafting their 4th round housing plans this year that will set affordable housing obligations for the next ten years. On March 24, Randolph Township reached a settlement with the Fair Share Housing Center, allowing it to prepare its 10-year housing plan. The plan will include adjustments based on practical considerations like land availability and utility access.

The Planning Board must adopt a Housing Element & Fair Share Plan and the Township Council must endorse the Plan by June 30. The Board will hold a public hearing on the Plan at its meeting on June 16. The proposed plan will be available on the Township’s website starting on Friday, June 6.

The key remaining deadlines are:

• August 31 is the deadline for interested parties to challenge the validity of a municipality’s Housing Element and Fair Share Plan.
• December 31 is the deadline for the township to settle any challenges or provide an explanation about why it will not make all or some of the requested changes.

We will continue to provide you with more updates as they become available.
