Authorizes payment of relocation costs under Blue Acres program.
This bill amends the New Jersey Blue Acres program to explicitly authorize the payment of relocation costs for households affected by storm damage or flooding. The legislation clarifies that "Blue Acres costs" include direct payments, advances, or bridge loans provided to residents to help them move from properties that are damaged or prone to future storm-related damage. By updating the legal definition of expenses covered under the program, the bill ensures that funds can be used for these specific relocation needs without requiring separate approval from the Division of Property Management and Construction. The changes directly impact homeowners and renters in areas targeted by the Blue Acres initiative, allowing the state to more efficiently support their transition to new housing.
