Send a letter to the Governor Today!

When Gov. Corzine signed the housing reforms of A500 into law last summer, he committed to the provision that 13 percent of affordable housing units must be accessible to very low-income residents, those earning 30 percent below the regional median income. Now, however, the Council on Affordable Housing is about to approve municipal fair share housing plans that do not provide for very low-income housing.

The Advocacy Network has, therefore, written a letter to the governor, urging him to stand by his commitment and the individuals and families who need these homes.

The Housing and Community Development Network, a member of the Advocacy Network, is asking our members, friends, allies and all supporters of fairness in housing policy to join us in soliciting the governor to see that COAH follows the law and accepts only plans that provide for very low-income housing. Please download and copy this sample letter, prepared by the Housing and Community Development Network, to the governor and send it under your organization’s letterhead.

Together we can see that our government does the right thing.
