Urges U.S. President and Congress to enact legislation comparable to "Eviction Crisis Act of 2019" and "Family Stability and Opportunity Vouchers Act of 2019."
This concurrent resolution (ACR 119) urges the U.S. President and Congress to enact federal legislation similar to two 2019 bills: the "Eviction Crisis Act" and the "Family Stability and Opportunity Vouchers Act." It directly addresses the housing crisis affecting low-income families, citing that 3 in 4 low-income households in need of housing aid are denied help, 6 million families lack stable housing, and over 150,000 New Jersey families faced eviction in 2018. The resolution requests Congress to pass comparable measures - such as improving eviction data, reducing preventable evictions, and creating 500,000 new housing vouchers - to help families spend less than half their income on housing. As a non-binding resolution, it does not create new programs but formally advocates for federal action based on these specific legislative models.
