A 4996 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes Housing Placement for Survivors Program to assist domestic violence survivors with temporary housing and provide tax credits to certain housing unit owners offering reduced rate to domestic violence survivors.

This bill creates the Housing Placement for Survivors Program within the Department of Children and Families to help domestic violence survivors find temporary housing. It offers tax credits to landlords and hotel owners who provide reduced rental rates to survivors for stays between 30 and 180 days. The program includes a $15 million annual cap on these tax credits, with any unused funds rolling over to future years. By incentivizing private property owners to offer discounted rates, the legislation aims to increase the availability of safe, short-term accommodations for victims of domestic violence.
