High housing costs in New Jersey make it challenging for Hispanic immigrants to afford homes, often forcing them into subletting or considering relocating. Housing is a key issue for voters, with presidential candidates Kamala Harris and Donald Trump holding starkly different positions. Harris proposes expanding affordable housing, while Trump previously cut housing assistance. Newark has initiated local programs to boost homeownership, but many residents remain skeptical about New Jersey's affordability and are considering alternatives, including moving out of the state or returning to their home countries.
