We can’t afford the huge influx of new children that workforce housing will bring into the Toms River Regional School District.

Workforce Housing said...

• The township’s foreclosure prevention program would create no new houses. And any new fair housing plan developed by the township would most likely include a relatively small amount of new construction. In any case, for new affordable housing to seriously strain the capacity of the Toms River Regional Schools, it would have to be on the order of a mid 20th Century style urban housing project, and one of those is not likely to be in anyone’s vision of future workforce housing.
• Helping homeowners save the home they are presently living in, but facing foreclosure, doesn't add a strain to the School system at all, the children are already attending our schools. To lose the families to foreclosure could well add $$ to the taxes of those remaining citizens, a loss of a family is a loss of tax dollars also.
