202 Signatures. 202 Investigators. We are moving past just signing and sharing. We are now auditing. Below are the top agencies receiving your tax dollars in Monmouth and Essex.

Your Mission: Use the 60-Second Audit Guide from the last update. Pick one agency, look up their Form 990, and post their "Humanity Ratio" (How much goes to the CEO vs. how much goes to the people) in the comments.

• Status: Receives massive Newark/Essex grants for "eviction prevention".

• Isaiah House | EIN: 22-2699121

• Status: Operates emergency shelters in East Orange. Check their 2026 "House of Love" gala spending versus their direct aid.

The "Receipts" We Need:

1. The CEO Salary: (Found in Part VII)

2. The Admin vs. Aid Ratio: (Found in Part IX)

3. The Hotel Kickbacks: Does their 990 list "independent contractors" that happen to be the same hotels where families are facing eviction?

Why This Matters Right Now

Politicians are currently debating Bill S4832, which would allow NJ towns to create even more homelessness trust funds. Before they take more of our money, we are demanding to know what they did with the $58.8 Billion they already had.
