A 1746 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Permits certain portion of municipal development trust funds to be spent on housing affordability assistance to veterans.

This bill allows New Jersey municipalities to use up to 30% of their existing development fee trust funds - collected from residential construction projects - to provide down payment assistance grants for first-time homebuying veterans. Each veteran can receive a grant of up to $15,000, and these grants are excluded from income calculations for other state benefits or taxes. The program is part of a municipality's broader affordable housing initiatives, which already support low- and moderate-income households through similar assistance programs. Municipalities must follow state-administered rules when allocating these funds for veteran-specific down payment help.
