The annual Out of Reach report finds fair market rent and 'housing wage' in New Jersey are less than in 2021. But "the picture is much worse" than the data.

Only 6% of adults with known intellectual or developmental disabilities are accessing residential support in New Jersey at this time, which advocates say is not acceptable for a state with such broad resources.

The state is putting $10 million in federal COVID recovery funds toward a program designed to limit the number of single-family homes foreclosed and sold to rental property investment firms.

Applications will begin to be accepted at 9 AM Tuesday for the state's $325 million Emergency Rescue Mortgage Assistance Program, or ERMA.

Gov. Phil Murphy signed a bill into law Friday that prohibits landlords from asking most housing applicants about their criminal history.

Although Gov. Murphy has vetoed other appropriations, state lawmakers are on the verge of approving $100 million for an emergency rental assistance program.
