It is our opinion that one of the first documents to be created is a Residents’ Bill of Rights. This is the first step in building the widespread support and the consensus within the existing community necessary for a successful and complete project. Here is an outline that could be used as starting point.
- The Hoboken Housing Authority and the City of Hoboken hereby commits to a Master Planning Process that improves the quality of life in our public housing neighborhoods, involves residents in key planning decisions, and enhances housing and employment opportunities for residents and guarantees that every AMP 1 and AMP 2 residents will not to be subject to permanent displacement or homelessness as part of any Master Plan.

- The existing amount of very low, low and moderate income units shall be maintained or increased.
- Replacement units shall be created with the goal significantly increasing the total amount of affordable and mixed income housing.
