S 789 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Extends affordable housing preference to certain allied South Korean veterans.

This bill (S 789) expands New Jersey's existing affordable housing preference for veterans to include certain South Korean veterans who served as U.S. allies in the Vietnam War. It amends definitions to include South Korean veterans who are New Jersey residents, citizens, and have a disability recognized by South Korea's equivalent of the U.S. Veterans Administration. These veterans will now qualify for the same housing preference priority as other disabled veterans - ranking second behind homeless veterans - under existing state housing programs. Applicants must still meet standard income requirements for each housing project, and the bill does not create new housing but extends current eligibility.
