The state is appealing a court decision that lays out how municipalities must plan for affordable housing, claiming the ruling that struck down a housing formula followed by more than 200 towns threatens to halt progress.
Last week, the state announced plans to appeal the decision based on two areas of the ruling: State officials want to keep the requirement for developers to share the responsibility to provide low-cost housing, and eliminate part of the ruling which provides incentives for developers to provide affordable housing.
While the state is taking steps to comply with a six-month deadline for new rules, DCA’s appeal will ask the state Supreme Court to decide whether affordable units should be mandated by municipal ordinance or encouraged on an individual basis by allowing builders more units than zoning calls for.
