SCR 84 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Urges U.S. Secretary for Housing and Urban Development to prioritize transitional housing for homeless individuals and families, including survivors of domestic violence.

SCR 84 is a non-binding resolution urging the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to prioritize transitional housing for homeless individuals and families, specifically including survivors of domestic violence. It proposes that HUD allocate resources toward programs offering up to 24 months of temporary housing with support services like financial education, counseling, and job assistance. These programs address gaps where emergency shelters typically limit stays to 90 days and over half of domestic violence survivors seeking housing services do not receive them. The resolution emphasizes that transitional housing provides critical time and support to achieve permanent, stable housing - especially important amid pandemic-related economic challenges.
