Housing Committee

APA-NJ established a Housing Committee in 2007 to implement the National APA “Policy Guide on Housing” – - and to keep our membership informed in a rapidly evolving housing environment.

The Chapter’s Executive Committee charged the Housing Committee with a mandate to 1)  Advocate for housing and planning policies, programs, practices and regulations that address the evolving needs of New Jersey’s increasingly diverse and growing population 2) Monitor legislative and regulatory proposals in order to inform the Chapter’s membership on a timely basis   3)  Serve as a resource to the New Jersey Legislature, public agencies and the Chapter by providing information, professional guidance and, when appropriate, public testimony, and 4) Assist the Chapter with educational forums, articles and professional development offerings.
