"New Jersey Fostering Success Voucher Act"; provides rental assistance and case management services for certain young adults leaving foster care or kinship care; appropriates $10 million.
This bill establishes the "New Jersey Fostering Success Voucher Act" to provide rental assistance and case management services to young adults aged 18-26 who were in foster care or kinship care and are experiencing homelessness or at imminent risk of homelessness. Eligible individuals must reside in New Jersey, meet moderate-income standards, and agree to participate in case management services provided by approved agencies. The program, administered by the Department of Community Affairs, appropriates $10 million from the General Fund to fund rental vouchers comparable to existing state rental assistance programs and secure required case management support. It directly affects young adults transitioning from foster care systems by offering financial stability and support services to prevent homelessness.
