Today’s announcement regarding mortgage forbearance combined with the moratoriums on evictions and foreclosures are critical steps for protecting our residents by keeping them in their homes. We applaud the Governor’s reminder today that no one can be removed from their home during this crisis, and his direction that landlords should extend the help they are getting to their tenants as well. “This pandemic has shown us just how much housing is healthcare. As we navigate through this difficult time together, we look forward to working with the governor and members of the Legislature to advance policies that keep homeowners and renters safe and in their homes long after this crisis has passed.” About the Housing and Community Development Network of NJ For more information: Nina Rainiero |
