A 4950 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes State grant program fund to incentivize municipalities to create senior snow removal programs; appropriates $2 million.

This bill creates a $2 million grant program to help New Jersey municipalities establish snow removal services for seniors. Under the plan, local governments can apply for up to $100,000 to clear snow and ice from the driveways, entrance paths, and sidewalks of homes occupied by residents aged 62 or older with incomes below 65% of the area median. The funding is restricted to single-family homes and does not cover seniors living in rental units or communities where the landlord or association already provides equivalent snow removal services. The Department of Community Affairs will manage the fund and create necessary rules to oversee the distribution of these grants.
