Congressman Van Drew Issues Statement

Congressman Van Drew released the following statement after Congress passed legislation to end the partial shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security and restore funding for critical agencies, including the Coast Guard, TSA, FEMA, Secret Service, and CISA.

“This shutdown should have never happened in the first place,” said Congressman Van Drew. “While I am glad this is over, I am not letting this go. Our federal workers should not have to worry if a paycheck is coming just because Congress cannot get its act together. That is why I will keep pushing my bill that would ensure members of Congress do not get paid during a shutdown, not even back pay once it is over. We owe the American people better than this, and we owe our federal workers a lot more stability than they got here.”

Governor Sherrill Announces Online Application for Permitting Dashboard Pilot

Governor Mikie Sherrill announced a call for submissions for the pilot phase of the Permitting Dashboard on her 100th day in office, the first public-facing tool of its kind in New Jersey that will help streamline and bring greater transparency to the state’s permitting process. This is part of a whole-of-government effort to reform the state’s permitting system to save businesses and residents time and money.

The pilot will solicit applications from energy, commercial, and multi-family housing projects that have recently submitted—or are about to submit—permit applications to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, New Jersey Department of Transportation, and/or New Jersey Department of Community Affairs. Up to 10 projects will be randomly selected from this pool for the pilot, allowing them to track the progress of their cross-agency permits in one place.

HUD Moving Forward on Bold Homelessness Reform

HUD is announcing that homelessness-related service providers across the nation can expect the 2026 Continuum of Care (CoC) Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to be published by June 1, 2026.

The CoC Program is a national competition designed to promote community-wide efforts to reduce homelessness and optimize self-sufficiency.

As the number of people living on our streets remains at crisis levels, HUD is committed to reforming its homelessness programs. The status quo of “housing first” and “harm reduction” has failed at great cost to those suffering on our streets and to working American taxpayers.

GLOUCESTER CITY NJ (CNBNews)(July 12, 2012)–Whenever there is an election involving a seat in Congress or in the White House, you can bet your bottom dollar it will be a big year for federal grants to be given out. Even though the national debt is $16 trillion and climbing, the “Washington Elite” doesn’t care; after all, it is not their money they are spending.

For example, in May, a list of 25 towns across the United States receiving money to help pay the salaries of firemen or to rehire firemen was released. The funds were awarded through the Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) program of the Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), a program that provides $400 million in grants nationwide for rehiring laid-off firefighters and retaining those whose jobs are in jeopardy due to budget constraints.”
