The Fair Share Housing Center is a legal-services nonprofit based in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, focused on defending and implementing New Jersey’s Mount Laurel Doctrine. The doctrine prohibits exclusionary zoning and requires municipalities to provide their fair share of the region’s affordable-housing needs. The center seeks to operationalize this policy through litigation, policy work, and efforts to preserve or extend affordability controls for existing housing to benefit low- and moderate-income residents. Its primary audience includes municipalities and the broader New Jersey housing landscape, with activity driven by a small, dedicated team. In 2023, the organization partnered with Hopeworks to develop its website, illustrating collaboration with nonprofit partners to support its mission.
