As New Jersey plans for a growing population and confronts persistent affordability challenges, what would it mean to frame housing as a fundamental human right? This panel, "Housing as a Human Right: Reframing New Jersey’s Housing Landscape" at the New Jersey Planning and Redevelopment Conference explores the Housing as a Human Right campaign and the implications of recognizing a right to housing in the New Jersey State Constitution. Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of how a rights-based framework could shape housing supply, affordability, governance, and long-term community stability across New Jersey.

Speakers:

• John Butler, ACLU of New Jersey
• Taiisa Kelly, Monarch Housing Associates
• Beverly Brown Ruggia, New Jersey Citizen Action
• Assemblywoman Katie Brennan
