The Affordable Housing Agency shall further establish procedures for administering eligibility to purchase and rent the affordable units.

Affirmative marketing program.
1. 
The Affordable Housing Agency shall have the primary responsibility for developing and implementing an affirmative marketing program which furthers the provisions of this section.

Affirmative marketing programs formulated by the developer shall be submitted to the Affordable Housing Agency for approval prior to implementation.
2. 
The affirmative marketing program shall be realistically designed to ensure that low- and moderate-income persons are informed of the housing opportunities to be provided. It shall include advertising and other outreach activities realistically designed to reach low- and moderate-income persons who reside or work in the Township and the region.
3. 
The developer shall be required to implement the affirmative marketing program, as formulated or approved by the Affordable Housing Agency, and shall furnish evidence of the marketing efforts to the Affordable Housing Agency.
