Thank you Senator Troy Singleton for coming out in support of restoring the Affordable Housing Trust Fund & dedicating mansion tax revenue to the AHTF 👏 @Troy4NJ7

New Jersey's cuts to the Affordable Housing Trust Fund are economically senseless. This is often the only source of funding for smaller, shovel-ready developments. We're calling on Gov. Murphy & legislative leaders to restore the full funding. newjerseymonitor.com/2025/07/03/adv…

How much do you need to earn to afford a modest rental home? On average, you need $33.63/hr for a 2-bedroom home and $28.17/hr for a 1-bedroom home #OOR25 shows that housing is out of reach for workers across a range of occupations and wage levels: nlihc.org/oor

We can't make NJ more affordable without affordable homes. Tell our state leaders to restore the Affordable Housing Trust Fund so we can make our state a place everyone can afford to call home: actionnetwork.org/letters/fixita…

"The Legislature has some explaining to do, because we are the ones who have been on the frontlines in our communities and our neighborhoods building in towns where for-profit developers wouldn't build." -HCDNNJ CEO @staciberger

Scott Millard, @PCHFH CEO: 19 Habitat projects WON'T be built unless the AHTF is restored. @PaulASarlo @JohnFMcKeon @BenjieWimberly @shavondasumter

This is worth repeating. Again and again and again. The needs of the people of New Jersey are not being met. When facing an affordable housing crisis, taking money away from the affordable housing fund to plug a budget hole lawmakers KNEW was coming, is not a solution.
