Hedge funds and other financial institutions have been profiting by buying foreclosed homes to resell or rent out. This business model has made housing less affordable and extracted wealth from local communities. This bill passed by the state of New Jersey creates the "Community Wealth Preservation Program", which limits wealth extraction by introducing an 84 month residency requirement for any homes purchased through foreclosure auctions.
