Today we are celebrating our Board Member @katie.e.brennan for officially launching their campaign run for the New Jersey General Assembly. “I’m running for the New Jersey General Assembly! I’m running to speak truth to power, fight for those who feel forgotten by their representatives, and to bring the fight for affordable housing to the State House. Let’s do this!”

The 95/5 program raises big questions about affordable housing. Residents are demanding a reevaluation for fair treatment and real support. 📸 @jerseycity_together #AffordableHousing #JerseyCityTogether #HomeownersRights #homeowners #JerseyCityNJ #newjersey #HudsonCountyNJ

On April 22nd 2024, the Supreme Court of the United States heard the case of Johnson v. Grants Pass. On June 28th, a decision was announced: people experiencing homelessness can be arrested and fined for sleeping outside when there are no safe alternatives. Johnson v. Grants Pass is a court case originally filed in 2018 that determined it is cruel and unusual punishment to arrest or ticket people for sleeping outside when they have no other safe place to go. The case started in Grants Pass, Oregon when the city began issuing tickets to people sleeping in public, even when there were not enough safe, accessible shelter beds. Wages are too low, and rent is too high which is causing our homeless populations to increase. Now more than ever we need investment in resources that keep people in their homes, and we need to do it now.
