Fair Share Housing Development is a real estate–focused nonprofit based in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, dedicated to defending the housing rights of low-income residents through the enforcement of the Mount Laurel doctrine. The organization works to ensure that towns provide their fair share of affordable housing, addressing economic discrimination in zoning and aiming to preserve and expand affordable housing options for New Jersey’s poorest communities. Its activities are centered on policy enforcement, outreach on state marketing standards, and efforts to extend affordability controls, with a broader goal of promoting equitable, inclusive communities. The group operates in New Jersey and is described as the public-interest arm focused entirely on housing rights, employing staff to support various legal and advocacy initiatives. Recent developments include ongoing partnerships and staffing changes meant to strengthen its capacity to address the housing shortage for low- and moderate-income residents. Based in the greater Philadelphia region, the organization occupies a niche within the real estate sector that intersects law, public policy, and community development.
