Introduced Text

New Jersey S4167 mandates municipalities to either operate or fund homeless shelters.

New Jersey S4167 requires municipalities to either operate or partner with a private, nonprofit organization to run an emergency shelter for the homeless within their jurisdiction, or contribute financially to county-operated shelters. The financial contribution is calculated at $5 per person based on the municipality's population. Counties must maintain an account for these funds and distribute them annually to shelters based on the number of homeless individuals served. Shelters must use the Homeless Management Information System to report real-time occupancy data.
