Township Committee seeks ways to satisfy its housing obligations.

The Township Committee is looking for ways to satisfy its next round of affordable housing obligations, and it may seek help from other municipalities to do it.

At its July 11 meeting, the Township Committee will discuss whether or not to pursue a regional contribution agreement to satisfy part of its third-round affordable housing obligations.

Mayor Becky Beauregard said Thursday the matter would be discussed in the work session. She said Cranbury's Affordable Housing Consultant Mary Beth Lonergan of Clarke Caton Hintz Architects will make a recommendation to the committee on its options for a regional contribution agreement in a subcommittee meeting prior to the meeting.

Under regional contribution agreements, towns can transfer up to 50 percent of their affordable housing obligations to other communities within their regions.
