A 4393 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Provides for voluntary contributions by taxpayers on gross income tax returns to support programming to address family homelessness.

This bill establishes the "New Jersey Family Homelessness Fund" within the state Treasury, allowing taxpayers to voluntarily contribute to it when filing their New Jersey gross income tax returns. Taxpayers can choose to add a contribution to their refund or include a separate payment, with administrative costs deducted before deposits. The state would annually appropriate all collected funds to the Family Promise national organization, which would distribute them to local New Jersey affiliates providing homelessness prevention, emergency shelter, and housing stabilization services. The program directly supports families at risk of or experiencing homelessness in New Jersey through existing community-based services.
