A 3333 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Provides reimbursement to emergency shelter following certain evictions.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Community Affairs to reimburse emergency shelter operators for costs incurred when evicting individuals who refuse to leave after their authorized stay period ends. It applies directly to operators of homeless emergency shelters established under existing law, covering expenses and lost revenue during the eviction process. Shelters must submit a specific form within 30 days of an eviction warrant being served, detailing costs and supporting documentation. The state must annually fund these reimbursements through General Fund appropriations. The bill clarifies that shelters may legally pursue eviction for non-compliance with stay duration rules.
