Too often, the public does not realize the successes and inno- vations agencies throughout the State of New Jersey have achieved in their communities towards providing afforda- ble housing and programs to needy families. This news- letter gives us an opportunity to highlight some of the positive and vital work that our members are doing in communities and towns where they manage over 100,000 units of affordable housing throughout the State of New Jersey. President John Clarke Our members work to ensure that safe, quality af- fordable housing opportunities exist for New Jersey’s low-income families. We also work to break the generational cycle of poverty by serving as a catalyst for our resi- dents to become economically self-sufficient and we create meaningful partnerships to maximize available community resources for our residents. I hope you find this newsletter to be positive, informative and indicative of the good work our members are doing each day as they provide and maintain affordable housing throughout the State. The newsletter contains numerous examples of this excellent work. On behalf of NJNAHRO, I would also like to congratulate the three outstanding young people that were recipients of our 2012 scholarships. These individuals are featured on page 9 of the newsletter. If you have any questions or comments on this newsletter, please feel free to email the Service Officer, William Snyder at [email protected] Sincerely, John Clarke President, NJNAHRO Volume 2, Issue 1 Page 5 SUMMIT HOUSING AUTHORITY IN THE NEWS After Martin Luther King’s assassination in Gallo, former Executive Director of the Summit 1968, our nation was in turmoil.

  • Housing Diversity and Affordability in New
    HOUSING DIVERSITY AND AFFORDABILITY IN NEW JERSEY’S TRANSIT VILLAGES By Dorothy Morallos Mabel Smith Honors Thesis Douglass College Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey April 11, 2006 Written under the direction of Professor Jan S. Wells Alan M. Voorhees Transportation Center Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy ABSTRACT New Jersey’s Transit Village Initiative is a major policy initiative, administered by the New Jersey Department of Transportation that promotes the concept of transit oriented development (TOD) by revitalizing communities and promoting residential and commercial growth around transit centers. Several studies have been done on TODs, but little research has been conducted on the effects it has on housing diversity and affordability within transit areas. This research will therefore evaluate the affordable housing situation in relation to TODs in within a statewide context through the New Jersey Transit Village Initiative. Data on the affordable housing stock of 16 New Jersey Transit Villages were gathered for this research. Using Geographic Information Systems Software (GIS), the locations of these affordable housing sites were mapped and plotted over existing pedestrian shed maps of each Transit Village. Evaluations of each designated Transit Village’s efforts to encourage or incorporate inclusionary housing were based on the location and availability of affordable developments, as well as the demographic character of each participating municipality. Overall, findings showed that affordable housing remains low amongst all the designated villages. However, new rules set forth by the Council on Affordable Housing (COAH) may soon change these results and the overall affordable housing stock within the whole state.

  • Chapter 19 Environmental Justice
    Chapter 19 Environmental Justice 19.1 INTRODUCTION This chapter considers whether minority populations and/or low-income populations would experience disproportionately adverse impacts from the proposed Project. It also discusses the public outreach efforts undertaken to inform and involve minority and low-income populations within the study area. 19.2 METHODOLOGY In accordance with Federal Executive Order 12898, Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations (February 11, 1994), this environmental justice analysis identifies and addresses any disproportionate and adverse impacts on minority and low-income populations that lie within the study area for the proposed Project. Executive Order 12898 also requires federal agencies to work to ensure greater public participation in the decision-making process. This environmental justice analysis was prepared to comply with the guidance and methodologies set forth in the DOT’s Final Environmental Justice Order (DOT 2012), FTA’s environmental justice guidance (FTA 2012), and the federal Council on Environmental Quality’s (CEQ) environmental justice guidance (CEQ 1997). Consistent with those documents, this analysis involved the following basic steps: 1. Select a geographic analysis area based on where the proposed Project components may cause impacts; 2. Obtain and analyze relevant race, ethnicity, income and poverty data in the study area to determine where minority and low-income communities, if any, are located; 3. Identify the potential of the Build Alternative to adversely impact minority and low-income populations; 4. Evaluate the potential of the Build Alternative to adversely affect minority and low-income populations relative to the effects on non-minority and non-low-income populations to determine whether the Build Alternative would result in any disproportionately high and adverse effects on minority or low-income populations; 5.

  • The Ecological Origins of Economic
    The Ecological Origins of Economic and Political Systems Stephen Haber, Roy Elis, and Jordan Horrillo First Draft: April 12, 2012 This Draft: April 22, 2021 Abstract: Why do democracy and prosperity go hand in hand, and cluster geographically? Why has that pattern emerged only over the past two centuries? We take an approach to answering these questions that is commonly employed in the physical sciences, as well as in some fields of empirical macroeconomics, in that we focus on the exogenous factors that pushed a system toward different equilibrium paths of development. We discover that a vector of factor endowments that were binding constraints on the production, storage, and transport of calorie-dense foods during the period 1500-1800 explain roughly two-thirds of the variance in per capita GDP today; explain progressively less of the variance in levels of economic development (as measured by urbanization ratios) as we go back in time from 2000 to 1800; and explain almost none of the variance in 1700, 1600, and 1500. We obtain materially similar results when we substitute the level of democratic consolidation as the dependent variable. We offer an ecological theory to explain the mechanics by which the factor endowments of the period 1500-1800 conditioned paths of development in the period since 1800. The key insight is that local factor endowments related to how human beings could solve the great challenge they all faced—insuring against starvation —conditioned their pre- 1800 forms of social organization. Those forms of social organization then conditioned how they could respond to the next great challenge they all faced, absorbing rapidly a set of mutually- reinforcing and mutually-dependent legal, financial, governance, educational, transport, production, communication, and warfare technologies that underpinned modern economic growth and the consolidation of democracy.
