Haddonfield and Collingswood have put in place measures to provide more affordable housing.

Collingswood will soon sign an agreement with a Haddon Township nonprofit to rehabilitate four houses to be sold to low- and moderate-income residents. Haddonfield's commissioners are scheduled to vote on an ordinance requiring developers to provide affordable housing.

Both boroughs are struggling to meet the requirements set by the state Council on Affordable Housing.

COAH has determined that Collingswood must provide 33 affordable units and Haddonfield 195.
