A 3627 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes Statewide database of beds in shelters for homeless persons.

This bill creates a statewide real-time database tracking available beds in homeless shelters across New Jersey. Homeless shelters (excluding domestic violence shelters) must update bed availability within one hour of changes, allowing shelter operators and referral services to quickly locate open beds for people needing emergency housing. Participation in the database becomes a condition for shelters to receive state funding from the Departments of Community Affairs and Human Services. The database aims to improve coordination between shelters to reduce wait times for individuals seeking immediate housing assistance.
