Establishes Safe Haven Homeless Housing Program; appropriates $30 million.
This bill establishes New Jersey's Safe Haven Homeless Housing Program, administered by the Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency (HMFA). It provides low-interest loans to qualified developers to renovate vacant or underused buildings (like malls, hotels, or warehouses) into transitional housing (for up to 24 months) or permanent supportive housing for very low-income households (earning ≤30% of area median income). The program appropriates $30 million from federal American Rescue Plan Act funds to the HMFA’s Safe Haven Fund, which also includes interest earnings. The bill directly affects homeless or unstably housed individuals/families and eligible developers seeking to transform underused properties.
