Affordable housing serious issue in N.J.

I want to express my disappointment with Rep. , R-Mount Holly, for his failure to attend the Second Annual on Homelessness in New Jersey July 30. More than 200 New Jersey residents, many of them his constituents, including me, traveled down to Washington, D.C., to participate in this event.

I thank U.S. Sens. Frank Lautenberg and Bob Menendez, both of whom spent time talking with our standing-room-only group and responding to questions. They offered compassionate and informed remarks regarding the lack of affordable housing in New Jersey. I am confident that they will do whatever they can to guarantee this most basic human right through support of the Second Chance Act, HUD/SAMSHA funding and reauthorization of the McKinney-Vento Act.

Joyce Campbell, Southampton
