Within a large constellation of nonprofits working within affordable housing in New Jersey, there’s the one Taiisa Kelly runs in Cranford. She admits its mission, to ensure housing is inclusive and geared toward vulnerable populations, is far from unique. But, there’s no number of nonprofits that she expects would be too many in that space. Here’s why: According to a report published by the National Low Income Housing Coalition, New Jersey has more than 300,000 extremely-low-income households, but less than 100,000 affordable and available rentals. “With a number that large, we don’t have a fear of tripping over each other to close that gap,” Kelly said. “There’s a large number of nonprofits doing this, but the need is just so great. And no single entity alone is equipped to reach the number of units needed in New Jersey. “The fact is, it’s hard to get resources and the staff together to do this work, and we’ve seen, unfortunately, nonprofits stop doing it because of that. We actually need a resurgence of nonprofits doing this work because of how much there is to be done.” Kelly heads Cranford-based Monarch Housing Associates, which provides support to both for-profit and nonprofit affordable housing developers. It’s one of many hoping the stars align for affordable housing under a new system in New Jersey. Read more:

In Opinion | The Corner Bakery Café is just across the river in Philadelphia, but going there is to go back in time — at least, it is if you’re a fan of New Jersey’s own Whitney Houston. The café, at the corner of 38th and Market streets, serves breakfast and lunch items and a steady stream of Houston hits. From ballads (“I Will Always Love You” and “You Give Good Love”) to upbeat dance music (“So Emotional” and “I Want to Dance with Somebody”) to the classic that got it all started (“How Will I Know?”), it’s all Whitney, all the time. General Manager Jermaine Anderson and Supervisor Shirley Carrington wouldn’t have it any other way. “Everyone loves Whitney,” Anderson said. “You can see the customers singing along — and dancing to the music.” They aren’t the only ones.
