SCR 45 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Urges President and Congress to enact "Eviction Crisis Act of 2019" and "Family Stability and Opportunity Vouchers Act of 2019."

SCR 45 is a New Jersey Senate resolution urging the U.S. President and Congress to enact two specific federal bills addressing housing instability. It references the "Eviction Crisis Act of 2019" (which would improve eviction data and tenant screening) and the "Family Stability and Opportunity Vouchers Act of 2019" (which would create 500,000 additional housing vouchers over five years for low-income families with young children). The resolution cites statistics on housing insecurity, including 6 million families lacking stable housing and over 150,000 New Jersey families facing eviction in 2018. As a concurrent resolution, it has no legal force and serves only to formally request federal action on these proposed bills.
