It also created the RCA option. Two previous rounds of affordable housing requirements have been completed and new third rules await the Council on Affordable Housings review and adoption. A state appellate panel ruled in January that some of the new COAH rules, including those that allow municipalities to determine their own housing obligations and allow half their units to be age-restricted were insufficient. <br /> <br /> In order to compete with the mounting costs of affordable housing township officials invested in a new employee earlier in the year that they said is responsible for finding this recently approved affordable housing grant. <br />... <br /><a href="http://www.packetonline.com/articles/2008/04/11/cranbury_press/news/doc47ff944362201312718418.prt" target="_blank">http://www.packetonline.com/articles/2008/04/11/cranbury_press/news/doc47ff944362201312718418.prt</a></span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> </table>
