Lt. Governor Oliver knew how to usher in significant change to achieve social justice and economic opportunity. She was a thoughtful advocate for disadvantaged communities. The HUD family in New Jersey offers our deepest condolences to her family, colleagues, and everyone fortunate to meet her and work alongside this extraordinary trailblazer.”
