#NJ must prioritize investment in production of affordable homes. Our future depends on it!

According to @NLIHC NJ has only 34 affordable homes for every 100 extremely low-income renter households & and rising cost have more families teetering on the brink of homelessness

More affordable home options are critical

Everyone deserves an affordable, decent home in a safe & healthy community. This core value of the #HouseNJ way is part of why the Network is advocating for a fully funded Affordable Housing Trust Fund that remains dedicated to the development of affordable homes for NJ families.

HCDNNJ VP of Policy and Advocacy Mathew Hersh with @GovSherrillNJ.

This budget is good first step to reducing the diversions, and we look forward to working with the Governor and the Legislature to restore full funding to the AHTF for its intended purpose, to build the affordable homes #NJ needs. #NJBudget #HouseNJ

"We appreciate @GovSherrillNJ's campaign promise not to divert the Affordable Housing Trust Fund & hope to see that commitment reflected in the proposed budget." Read the full statement at tinyurl.com/HCDNNJ27stateb….

With a shortage of >200K affordable homes in NJ, it is critical that the Affordable Housing Trust Fund be protected & used for its legally intended purpose: producing homes for low- & moderate-income residents. Read @GovSherrillNJ's budget address: njspotlightnews.org/2026/03/nj-bud…

At a time when far too many residents are struggling to find safe stable affordable homes, strong leadership and meaningful investment are in essential

And expansion of the Neighborhood Revitalization Tax Credit Program

We're live at the State House waiting for @GovSherrillNJ to deliver her first #NJBudget.

Housing advocates are calling on #NJ elected leaders to dedicate at least half of new mansion tax revenue to the Affordable Housing Trust Fund to ensure that nonprofit developers can continue to do the work of building affordable homes for low-income families. #HouseNJ
