Welcome to the State Rental Assistance Program (SRAP) Advocacy Toolkit. With these tools, we hope you will take action to encourage the legislature to approve urgently needed funds for the State's Rental Assistance Program, without which many New Jersey citizens would have to leave the state, or worse yet, face homelessness.

We must ensure that the proposed $40 million SRAP appropriation included in the Governor's 2007 budget passes through the legislature. Governor Corzine followed through on his campaign pledge to help many vulnerable citizens obtain affordable housing. Show your support for this important program today.

In this kit, you will find a one page fact-sheet, a model resolution calling for increased SRAP and federal voucher funding, a sample letter to legislators, a sample letter to editors, and a list of the legislative leadership and budget committees.

Whether you write a letter to your legislator or contact your local newspaper, you'll be making a difference in the lives of many!

For more information, please e-mail Homes for NJ at coordinator@homesfornj.com or call, 609-393-3752 x 25.
