Corzine to ban Regional Contribution Agreements

July 17th, 2008 · No Comments

Today, will be a historic day for the city of and the whole State of New Jersey.   Today, Governor will sign into law a change to the of 1985 abolishing RCAs or Regional Contribution Agreements.  So what are RCAs and why is this good?

Regional Contribution Agreements “have allowed wealthy municipalities to pay poor municipalities to accept their affordable housing obligation. This law helped perpetuate segregation and increased the concentration of poverty in our inner-cities.”  This is the way it worked:  A cash strapped city like would receive money from lets say Wayne to build low income housing for them; then would also take money various other municipalities creating a pool of folks of low resources.

This would and has increase the concentration of poverty in the city of and other urban cities in New Jersey.  Concentrating poverty in one area has never worked - which is the reason why housing projects are being knock-down all over the country. More>>
