Efforts to consolidate these grants could shift critical grant funds away from the areas most at-risk for a terror attack, like my State of New Jersey.

We also need to expand our research into climate change so we better understand the coming impacts, and how to mitigate them.

With my State's continued challenges and stubbornly high foreclosure rates, I call on the Treasury Department to redouble its efforts to ensure that New Jersey homeowners receive the help they need.
