Establishes Statewide database of beds in shelters for the homeless.

New Jersey's S 1152 creates a statewide database tracking real-time occupancy of shelter beds for homeless individuals, managed through the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS). Shelter operators (excluding domestic violence shelters) must update bed availability within one hour of changes, enabling referral providers and shelters to quickly locate open beds in nearby facilities. This requirement applies to shelters seeking state funding from the Departments of Community Affairs and Human Services, making database cooperation a condition of eligibility. The bill aims to improve coordination in connecting homeless individuals with available shelter space across the state.
