On April 7, 2009, we published NHTF Funding Plus 200,000 New Vouchers in which we asked our members and friends to sign on to a revised open letter to the Administration and Congress calling for:
-
Dedicated sources of funding for the National Housing Trust Fund sufficient to, over the next ten years, produce or preserve 1.5 million homes affordable to people with extremely low income.
-
200,000 new vouchers each year for ten years.
We are pleased to announce that thirty-six (36) New Jersey based organizations answered that call.
