SCR 100 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 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.

This non-binding resolution urges the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary to prioritize transitional housing programs. It specifically targets homeless individuals and families, with special emphasis on survivors of domestic violence who face barriers to permanent housing. Transitional housing provides up to 24 months of safe shelter alongside support services like financial counseling, job training, and mental health resources. The resolution highlights that current emergency shelters often limit stays to 90 days and that over half of domestic violence victims needing housing assistance do not receive it.
