 In One Week: Join Us for Virtual Rally to Protect the Affordable Housing Trust Fund
Friday, May 7 at 11am

New Jersey's Affordable Housing Trust Fund is in jeopardy! Join us to send the message to our state legislators: ALL OF THE MONEY IN, NONE OF THE MONEY OUT!

After a decade of fighting to restore the Affordable Housing Trust Fund (AHTF), we were victorious in preserving the Fund in 2020. This year however, the AHTF is again at risk.

The proposed state budget diverts $57 million legally intended to create affordable homes for low- and moderate-income families into other programs, some for higher-income families. We are telling our elected officials to prevent this raid, in this op-ed and this letter to the Legislature.

It’s not just our members and partners who oppose raiding the AHTF, Nearly 80% percent of NJ residents believe the AHTF should only be used for its intended purpose. NJ residents know that the AHTF is a valuable resource that helps create and rehabilitate the affordable homes our neighbors and communities desperately need. Our post-pandemic recovery depends on making NJ a place everyone can afford to call home, we cannot afford another raid on the Trust Fund.

Join us Friday, May 7 at 11am via Zoom to show your support for protecting NJ's Affordable Housing Trust Fund and to help stop the raid!



Please Note: This event is being held in place of the Network's monthly First Friday Member Discussion which will resume it's traditional format in June!
