We reversed the Tax Court's denial of real property tax exemptions to charitable organizations which provide housing and supportive services to individuals with psychiatric disabilities. In interpreting N.J.S.A. 54:4-3.6, we determine that the motion judge erred in denying the exemptions on the basis that supportive services were also provided to residents of other housing and that the absence of a requirement that residents receive supportive services was not determinative when there was no issue of fact that all residents in fact participated in the services offered, which were integral to their ability to live independently in the housing provided. 10-4-11
