Complete·1/20/26

New Jersey S1487 mandates application flexibility for federal rental assistance administered by the Department of Community Affairs.

New Jersey S1487 requires the Commissioner of Community Affairs to ensure that applicants for federal rental assistance are not limited to online application options. The commissioner must ensure that applicants can apply through regular mail, electronic mail, or fax, to the extent permitted by federal law. This applies to rental assistance authorized under section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937, including project-based rental assistance and the Housing Choice Voucher Program. The act takes effect on the first day of the third month following its enactment.
