A 1893 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

"New Jersey Fostering Success Voucher Act"; provides rental assistance and case management services for certain young adults leaving foster care or kinship care; appropriates $10 million.

The New Jersey Fostering Success Voucher Act creates a program providing rental assistance vouchers and case management services to young adults aged 18-26 who have exited foster care or kinship care and are homeless or at imminent risk of homelessness. To qualify, individuals must reside in New Jersey, have a moderate income, and agree to participate in case management services through approved agencies. The program will issue rental vouchers comparable to existing state housing assistance standards and require participants to engage with case management agencies to support housing stability. The state will appropriate $10 million from the General Fund to fund the program, administered by the Department of Community Affairs.
