Finding affordable housing in New Jersey is hard enough. Requiring high credit scores from those who qualify for it — senseless.
Shalyce Davis, 38, a Monmouth County mom, qualified for affordable housing but was denied an apartment because of her low credit score. The single mother says despite working to raise her score, doing so takes time. "And in the meantime," she says, she and her three-year-old are "stuck in a moldy apartment."Were it not for her low credit score, Shalyce Davis would’ve moved out of her moldy Monmouth County apartment a long time ago.
The frustration in her voice is high as she explains that she’s done all she can. She tells me she applied for affordable housing through theget on a list, to be approved, and be entered in the lottery.” If you purchase a product or register for an account through one of the links on our site, we may receive compensation.
