Built for Zero Movement - Can Homelessness Be Solved?
Built for Zero, a nationwide movement has a positive answer to this question. Using a proven methodology, Built for Zero can help communities make homelessness rare and brief. By using collective resources to tackle homelessness one community and one population at a time, success can be identified and measured at "functional zero”. Functional zero for one population can accelerate progress for all populations. The presentation will highlight how three communities in New Jersey are using this focused approach to effectively address homelessness.

Biden-Harris Administration Releases
Blueprint for a Renters Bill of Rights
| |
|
The White House announced new actions to protect renters and promote rental affordability, as well as a Blueprint for a Renters Bill of Rights. Among the new actions the White House announced today are:
- The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) will launch a public process to examine proposed renter protections and anti-rent gouging measures for new federally-backed mortgages.
- The administration will hold quarterly meetings with renters and advocates to continue the conversation on renter protections, and will launch a Resident-Centered Housing Challenge, a call to action to housing providers and other stakeholders to commit to renter protections.
- The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) will collect information to identify unfair practices that prevent tenants from accessing or staying in housing, informing each agency’s enforcement actions. This is the first time the FTC has acted on renter protections.
- The CFPB will issue guidance and coordinate with the FTC on enforcement to ensure accurate credit reporting.
- HUD will publish a notice of proposed rulemaking to implement the 30-day-notice requirement enacted by Congress through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act of 2020.
These actions are aligned with five principles for renter protections outlined in the Blueprint, including ensuring: access to safe, quality, accessible, and affordable housing; clear and fair leases; enforcement of renter rights and protection from unlawful discrimination and exclusion; the right to organize without obstruction or harassment from landlords; and eviction prevention, diversion and relief.
The announcements are the culmination of a months-long process by the Biden-Harris administration to gather input and consider opportunities to strengthen tenant protections.

HUD Awards $24M To Housing Authorities To Support Housing Access For People With Disabilities | |
|
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development is sending millions in funding to local officials across the country to help people with disabilities access housing in their communities. The agency said that it’s awarding $24.7 million to 98 public housing authorities in order to provide permanent affordable housing to those with disabilities. As many as 2,210 families are expected to benefit from the funding, federal officials said.
New Jersey is set to see just over $514,000 of available funding.
The funding is being made available through the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Section 811 Mainstream Housing Choice Voucher Program. It’s aimed at helping non-elderly people with disabilities who are transitioning from institutions or other isolated settings as well as those at risk of institutionalization or homelessness.
Local public housing authorities are expected to work with community partners like centers for independent living, state protection and advocacy agencies and Medicaid agencies to help with the application and housing search process, federal housing officials said.
Given the state of the rental market, HUD included extra funding dubbed “extraordinary administrative fees” to account for security deposits, vacancy payments and other costs to ensure that families can successfully use the vouchers.

CMS Announces Federal Poverty Levels for 2023 | |
|
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released a CMCS Informational Bulletin with the updated 2023 Federal Poverty Level (FPL) Standards. Informational Bulletin: 2023 Federal Poverty Level Standard
The 2023 guidelines reflect the 8.0 percent price increase between calendar years 2021 and 2022. After this inflation adjustment, the guidelines are rounded and adjusted to standardize the differences between family and household sizes. For a family or household of 4 persons living in one of the 48 contiguous states or the District of Columbia, the poverty guideline for 2023 is $30,000. Separate poverty guideline figures are developed for Alaska and Hawaii, and different guidelines may apply to the Territories. The guidelines can be found at https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/01/19/2023-00885/annual-update-of-the-hhspoverty-guidelines.
To determine eligibility for Medicaid and CHIP, states generally use a percentage multiple of the guidelines (for example, 133 percent or 185 percent of the guidelines). Included with this informational bulletin is the 2023 Dual Eligible Standards chart that displays the new standards for the Medicare Savings Program categories. These standards are also available on Medicaid.gov at https://www.medicaid.gov/medicaid/eligibility/seniors-medicareand-medicaid-enrollees/index.html.
The asset limits are not derived from the poverty levels but are instead related to the Medicare Low-Income Subsidy asset limits. Please note that the income figures for the Qualified Disabled Working Individual (QDWI) program identified in the chart incorporate earned income disregards, in addition to the $20 general income disregard.

NJCounts2023 Point-In-Time Count | |
|
January 23, 2023 - On Wednesday, January 25th, 2023, #NJCounts 2023, the Point-in-Time count of individuals and households who experience homelessness took place statewide. NJCounts 2023 will provide critical information as post-pandemic life becomes the new normal and communities see the true impact of the affordable housing crisis. Exact times for the count may vary by county. NJCounts is commissioned by the New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency and, for the tenth consecutive year,Monarch Housing Associates is coordinating the annual statewide count. Local government, non-profit agencies, community advocates, volunteers, and others that plan community efforts to end homelessness will conduct the counts throughout New Jersey.
Homeless service providers and volunteers interviewed people experiencing homelessness on the night of January 24, 2023, who stayed in shelters, transitional housing programs, hotels paid for by agencies, in the woods, under bridges, in vacant buildings, and at other non-housing locations where they are forced to live because there is insufficient affordable or supportive housing. On January 25, 2023, many communities canvassed the streets to survey persons experiencing unsheltered homelessness, inquiring about where they slept the night before. The 2022 statewide Point-in-Time count found 8,754 homeless men, women, and children, in 6,631 households, across the state of New Jersey, a significant increase of 657 persons from 2021. NJCounts 2022 also saw a 257 person increase in those who are experiencing chronic homelessness, meaning the state’s most vulnerable are staying homeless for longer.
The statewide NJCounts 2022 report is available here. In 2023, communities are monitoring to determine whether this concerning trend continues. Monarch Housing expects to make the final report available in spring 2023.

PD&R Edge Explores Expanding Equitable Opportunities in Housing At Enterprise's 40th Annual Conference | |
|
The legacy of racist housing policies, coupled with a shortage of affordable housing, has hindered the ability of minority and low-income families to build wealth, afford quality housing, and offer opportunities to their children. In October 2022, Enterprise Community Partners hosted its 40th Anniversary Conference in Washington, DC. Affordable housing advocates, housing investors, and policymakers discussed strategies to increase the upward mobility of low-income households, address racial inequities in housing, and invest in affordable housing.
In a panel titled “Advancing Equity and Inclusion: Reconstructing Housing Policies and Practices,” participants explained how disinvestment in minority communities, along with past discrimination, has led to intergenerational inequities in housing, the accumulation of wealth, and educational attainment. Moderated by Jacqueline Waggoner of Enterprise Community Partners, the panelists included Marjy Stagmeier, managing partner of TriStar; George Jones, chief executive officer of Bread for the City; Makada Henry Nickie, executive director of JPMorgan Chase; Robin Rue Simmons, executive director of FirstRepair; and Susan E. Thomas, senior vice president of Fifth Third Bank’s Community Development Company. Panelists discussed strategies to build wealth among African-Americans and low-income families through reparations, service delivery, and social impact investment.

Mayors Have Affordable Housing Plans
Do They Have the Funds? Outlook On 2023 Funding
| |
|
The following article from Route-Fifty examines steps that Mayors in America are taking to address the housing crisis.
While the current housing crisis looks different in communities around the country, there’s one major obstacle local officials agree is preventing the creation of more units: funding. From land banking to hotel conversions, cities are looking for ways to stretch their dollars in the absence of more state and federal dollars, according to city leaders.
The 2023 Outlook on Federal Funding
Many cities have plans for addressing the housing shortage, but lack the financial means.
In Albuquerque, there’s a surplus of run-down properties from the ‘60s and ‘70s, hotels that are nearly 100 years old, and commercial spaces that are underutilized in a post-pandemic world, according to Mayor Tim Keller. But despite the poor conditions, purchasing such properties would cost a pretty penny.
To help cities like Albuquerque, the Department of Housing and Urban Development has several funding opportunities in the works for 2023, according to Marion McFadden, the department’s principal deputy assistant secretary for community planning and development. These federal funding programs include a $225 million competitive grant program for manufactured housing, $85 million to help communities address barriers to producing and preserving affordable housing, and $75 million for permanent supportive housing projects. McFadden also encouraged attendees to pay attention to the Section 108 Loan Guarantee Program under the Community Development Block Grant. The loan program provides grantees with up to five times their grant allocation in flexible financing.
Pushing Back on Capital Investors
Mayors also took aim at institutional investors buying up single-family homes, calling them “parasitic” and labeling them as another major obstacle to solving the nation’s housing crisis. The problem with institutional investors is particularly acute in the South, where about 30% of homes are held by investors that own at least 1,000 properties, said Sarah Brundage, senior advisor to HUD Secretary Marcia Fudge.

NJ DHS Implements $50 SNAP Minimum Benefit As SNAP Federal Emergency Allotments Set To Expire In February | |
|
(TRENTON) – Human Services Commissioner Sarah Adelman announced that beginning in March, all households eligible for the NJ Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) will receive a minimum $50 monthly benefit following the end of federal SNAP emergency allotments in February. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, SNAP households have benefited from emergency allotments from the federal government, which provided households with higher monthly food assistance benefits and totaled more than $2 billion. Starting in March, SNAP households will only get their regular SNAP payment loaded to their EBT card. Recognizing the challenges families continue to face affording healthy and nutritious food and groceries, Governor Murphy signed legislation in June to establish the State SNAP Minimum Benefit Program and to set a SNAP minimum benefit ensuring all SNAP recipients will receive at least $50 per month in assistance now that the federal emergency allotments are ending. New Jersey is the first state to set a minimum benefit, which required an $18 million investment in state funds.
State lawmakers are considering a proposal to nearly double the minimum monthly food benefit for SNAP to $95, the same level it has been under COVID-19. The bill has passed the Assembly as the State Senate reviews.
The Department will mail notices in February to all SNAP households advising them of the benefit reduction along with a reminder of their regular benefit amount resuming in March.
The Department has also developed materials in multiple languages about the end of the SNAP emergency allotments and what it means for SNAP households, as part of its public awareness campaign. Materials are available for download at NJSNAP.gov
“The notice will indicate the household’s regular benefit so recipients will know what their benefit will be starting March 1. We encourage SNAP recipients to also check their benefit detail any time online at www.njfamiliesfirst.com, with the Connect EBT mobile app or by calling (800) 997-3333,” said Assistant Commissioner Natasha Johnson, who directs Human Services’ Division of Family Development, which is responsible for the SNAP program.
Currently, the benefit detail indicates their regular benefit and the extra emergency benefit separately. SNAP recipients who remain eligible for the program will only receive their regular benefit of at least $50 beginning in March.

Newark Passes Ordinance To Maintain Affordable Housing | |
|
Newark city officials this week adopted an ordinance designed to help the city maintain its stock of affordable housing.
- The measure endorsed by the city council this week allows officials to attach deed restrictions to suitable city-owned properties that will prohibit market-price sales for 30 years.
- Under the ordinance, as many as half of the buildings and vacant lots the city owns could fall under the restrictions.
- The measure also provides a right of first refusal to buy the properties for nonprofits that have established bona fides as affordable-housing developers.
- Owners looking to avoid the deed restriction could do so by making a payment of $180,000 to the city’s affordable housing trust fund.
Read more about Newark and their latest efforts on affordable housing with this story from NJ.com.
