Fair Chance in Housing Act
On Juneteenth 2021, Governor Murphy signed the Fair Chance in Housing Act (FCHA), which bars housing providers from asking about criminal history on housing applications in most instances. The FCHA is the first state law of its kind in the country and is intended to ensure people with past criminal histories have a fair shot at accessing safe and affordable housing.For morning information, please read the Attorney General Fair Chance in Housing Act.
New Jersey Division on Civil Rights–Required Posters
Effective August 1, 2022, the New Jersey Division on Civil Rights (DCR) has implemented new regulations requiring employers, housing providers, and places of public accommodation to prominently display official posters. These posters inform individuals and organizations about their rights and obligations under the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (NJLAD) and Family Leave Act (NJFLA).
To comply, display the DCR posters in easily visible locations. You can download and print the posters from the Division’s website or obtain them at any Division office. When printing from the website, ensure the posters are on letter-size paper (8½ by 11 inches) with legible and easily readable text.
