A 5203 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Codifies Bringing Veterans Home Initiative.

This bill codifies New Jersey's "Bringing Veterans Home Initiative" into law, directly affecting unhoused or homeless veterans across the state. It requires the Commissioner of Community Affairs (with the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs) to establish six regional hubs, create a standardized referral form, use state data to target housing needs, and help veterans access existing housing benefits. The initiative aims to provide safe, stable housing for every unhoused veteran through coordinated state agency efforts. The bill takes immediate effect, formalizing a 2024 pilot program launched by Governor Way.
