It’s likely Thursday the Assembly will vote on a bill to prevent foreclosures and to keep Sandy survivors from losing their homes.

We need you to take just 5 minutes, call your state legislator, and tell them that this is important to you and your community.

Don’t know how to reach them or who they are? No problem. Click this link:  Find your legislator.  Then enter your address and click on the little magnifying glass. You’ll get a list of your State Senator and Assembly members. Then click on one of their names, and you’ll find their office number.  Often your Senators and Assembly members share an office so you may reach both.

Tell them:

  • I’m calling to ask you to support a bill, S2300/A333, that would give Sandy survivors who were out of their homes or still struggle to get back a chance to catch up and not lose the homes they’ve fought for.
  • There are still up to 60% of families in RREM who are not home for good. The process has taken so long that many people have gone broke waiting and had to chose between paying rent and a mortgage.
  • I support this bill because it gives families a forbearance period to catch up and keep their homes, and provides additional transparency measures.
  • Your story! Or anything else you think it’s important for them to hear.

Then, please send us back a quick email to let us know what they said at http://newjerseyop.org/contact.html

Want to read the bill yourself? You can read it here. It’s critical that we show our support today and tomorrow.  Too many families are still struggling, and we have to stand up for our neighborhoods.

Last, the Sandy Memorial Wall Tour will be in Little Egg Harbor tonight at 6:30pm at the Tuckerton Seaport, the restaurant building! Address and info here.
