You may not have heard of the New Jersey Institute for Social Justice but the advocacy group may have already touched your life.
If you’re looking to buy a house, this organization fought for the passage of a state bill that will help first-time homeowners, or better yet, first-generation homeowners, to buy a home. If you were among the more than 83,000 people on probation and parole who couldn’t vote, the institute successfully advocated to get your right to vote restored.
