New Jersey's affordable housing mandate will proceed in 2025 at least for now.

A judge denied a request by more than two dozen municipalities to pause implementation of the legislation.

The law is designed to speed enforcement of the Mount Laurel Doctrine , a landmark set of court rulings that require New Jersey towns to provide their "fair share" of low- and moderate-income housing.

Sen. Singleton : "I am grateful that this motion was dismissed, it is disappointing that this lawsuit will still linger" Ghassali: "We will also be standing up against illegal rulemaking that has prevented any New Jerseyan from having any opportunity to be heard".
