WHEREAS, the Township of East Amwell has identified errors in the identification of Counties in Region ; and WHEREAS, the Fair Housing Act (N.J.S.A 52:27D-321.3 et seq.) was recently amended to require available affordable units be advertised on the Housing Resource Center website; and WHEREAS, the Township Committee would like to amend the Ordinance to correct these errors; and NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Township Committee of the Township of East Amwell, County of Hunterdon, and State of New Jersey, as follows:

Section 43-1 to 43-18- No change.

B. The Affirmative Marketing Plan is a regional marketing strategy designed to attract buyers and/or renters of all majority and minority groups, regardless of race, creed, color, national origin, ancestry, marital or familial status, gender, affectional or sexual orientation, disability, age or number of children to housing units which are being marketed by a developer, sponsor or owner of affordable housing. The Affirmative Marketing Plan is intended to target those potentially eligible persons who are least likely to apply for affordable units in that region. It is a continuing program that directs marketing activities toward Housing Region 3 and is required to be followed throughout the period of restriction.

C. The Affirmative Marketing Plan shall provide a regional preference for all households that live and/or work in Housing Region 3, comprised of Hunterdon, Middlesex and Somerset Counties.

D. The municipality has the ultimate responsibility for adopting the Affirmative Marketing Plan and for the proper administration of the Affirmative Marketing Program, including initial sales and rentals and resales and re-rentals. The administrative agent designated by the Township of East Amwell shall implement the Affirmative Marketing Plan to assure the affirmative marketing of all affordable units.

E. In implementing the Affirmative Marketing Plan, the administrative agent shall provide a list of counseling services to low- and moderate-income applicants on subjects such as budgeting, credit issues, mortgage qualification, rental lease requirements, and landlord/tenant law.

F. The Affirmative Marketing Plan shall describe the media to be used in advertising and publicizing the availability of housing. In implementing the Affirmative Marketing Plan, the administrative agent shall consider the use of language translations where appropriate. EAST AMWELL TOWNSHIP FEBRUARY 11, 2021

G. The affirmative marketing process for available affordable units shall begin at least four months (120 days) prior to the expected date of occupancy.

H. Applications for affordable housing shall be available in several locations, including, at a minimum, the County Administration Building and/or the County Library for each county within the housing region; and the municipal administration building in the municipality in which the units are located; and the developer's rental office. Applications shall be mailed to prospective applicants upon request.

I. The costs of advertising and affirmative marketing of the affordable units shall be the responsibility of the developer, sponsor or owner.

J. The affirmative marketing plan shall specifically notify the following community and regional organizations in advertisement for affordable housing:

(1) Fair Share Housing Center, Cherry Hill. (2) NJ State Conference of the NAACP, Trenton. (3) Latino Action Network, Freehold. (4) Supportive Housing Association, Cranford. (5) Central Jersey Housing Resource Center, Raritan. (6) NORWESCAP, Phillipsburg. (7) New Jersey Housing Resource Center (https://www.nj.gov/njhrc/)
