S 1978 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes Interagency Council on Homelessness.

This bill establishes the "Interagency Council on Homelessness" within New Jersey's Department of Community Affairs to replace the existing "Homelessness Prevention Task Force." The 24-member council - including government officials, service providers, advocacy representatives, and at least two people with lived experience of homelessness - will advise the Office of Homelessness Prevention, coordinate state/local homelessness services, identify funding sources, and develop permanent housing solutions. It requires the council to submit annual reports to the Governor and Legislature with recommendations. The bill also mandates transferring the previous task force's records and personnel to the new council. (Note: The bill was withdrawn on January 9, 2024.)
