These Dollars were to Prevent Homelessness!
NJ Slow to Help Distressed Homeowners
Two years ago, New Jersey received $300 million from the federal government to help the unemployed from losing their homes.

New Jerseyans cannot afford to wait, we need to use these foreclosure funds and we need to use them now. Please contact Governor Christie and your state legislator and urge them to make foreclosures a top priority!
