- Phil Murphy supports Kamala Harris’ $25,000 homebuyer initiative
TRENTON, NJ — Governor Phil Murphy has expressed his full support for Vice President Kamala Harris’ proposal to provide $25,000 grants to first-time homebuyers, stressing that the program has been successful in New Jersey. Murphy praised the program’s major impact, particularly on young, Black and brown communities in the state.
Murphy emphasized the effectiveness of the program in New Jersey, calling it a “huge success” for first-time home buyers.
He pointed out that although the subsidy encourages the purchase of a home, it is not the only solution to the housing problem and stressed that the supply of housing must be increased.
“We did it in Jersey. It’s a huge success. It’s had a particularly big impact on young people in the black and brown community who are buying their first home,” Murphy explained.
He reiterated his support for initiatives to help first-time homeowners as well as to expand the overall housing supply, particularly affordable housing.
