Requires Bureau of Housing Inspection to establish hotline and maintain database for public housing occupants to lodge complaints concerning living conditions.
This bill requires New Jersey's Bureau of Housing Inspection to create a 24/7 toll-free hotline and a statewide database for public housing residents to report health, safety, and living condition issues. The hotline must offer live operators in English and Spanish, protect caller anonymity, and provide information or referrals to residents. The database will track substantiated complaints, including details on violations, corrective actions taken, and response times, with this information posted online for public review. The Commissioner of Community Affairs must adopt rules to ensure the hotline and database operate securely and are clearly advertised at public housing facilities.
