S 468 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes mortgage assistance program for benefit of certain low- and moderate-income homeowners; appropriates $200 million.

This bill establishes a $200 million mortgage assistance program for New Jersey homeowners with low or moderate incomes who face imminent risk of homelessness due to missed mortgage payments. It provides forgivable, zero-interest loans (called "deep," "moderate," "shallow," or "single" subsidies) to cover arrears, fees, and future payments after qualifying hardships like job loss, illness, or death of a family member. Homeowners must complete a counseling course, commit to living in the home as their primary residence for three years, and use the funds only for their principal residence to qualify for loan forgiveness. The program targets households earning 50% to 80% of the local median income who have experienced financial hardship causing mortgage delinquency.
