A recent U.S. Supreme Court decision has paved the way for local governments to make sleeping outside illegal, allowing police to arrest and ticket people experiencing homelessness, even in areas with no shelter available. In this #Under1RoofNJ session, you’ll hear about programs and policy interventions that are being made here in #NJ and brainstorm about other strategies to protect the rights of our most vulnerable residents, those who are experiencing homelessness.

"The dearth of affordable housing in New Jersey has long been one of the state’s most pressing challenges, with a range of proposals developed to try to address it. The latest comes in a new law that has the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs calculating the need for every city and town. "On Friday, the DCA released those calculations and found the state needed a total of 146,000 new or rehabilitated units over the next decade. The numbers are sure to be debated and even some legally challenged, but this is the first time in decades that each municipality has an affordable housing obligation to help guide its planning." https://lnkd.in/eVVKEzaZ
