Help Us Restore NJ's Affordable Housing Funds

Help Us Restore NJ’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund

This year, state leaders diverted millions from New Jersey’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund (AHTF)—a critical resource meant to build homes for working families, seniors, veterans, and people with special needs. Without urgent action, hundreds of affordable home developments will be stalled or canceled in communities across the state.

At the same time, the newly expanded mansion tax is expected to generate more than $300 million annually, but none of that revenue is currently being used to support affordable housing. That’s not just disappointing—it’s a missed opportunity to address our growing housing crisis.

We’re calling on the Governor and Legislature to restore the Affordable Housing Trust Fund and dedicate at least half of the mansion tax revenue—around $150 million a year—to affordable housing production. But we need your help to make that happen.
