Creates home purchase grant program in HMFA for certain veterans who served in federal active duty; appropriates $2,000,000.
This bill creates a $2 million home purchase grant program for New Jersey veterans who served at least 90 days in federal active duty. It provides matching grants of up to $10,000 per veteran (dollar-for-dollar) to cover closing costs, equity payments, or other home-buying expenses, without requiring income eligibility. To qualify, veterans must prove NJ residency, federal service history, and intent to buy a NJ primary residence, with priority given to those eligible for other state homebuyer programs. The New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency will administer the program in coordination with the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs.
