A 4322 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Makes FY 2025 supplemental appropriation of $587,450 to DCF for HomeFront NJ - Diaper Access Expansion Pilot Program.

This bill allocates $587,450 in supplemental funding to the New Jersey Department of Children and Families (DCF) for HomeFront NJ's Diaper Access Expansion Pilot Program. The funds directly support low-income families in Central New Jersey who face diaper need (inability to provide sufficient diapers for infants), building on HomeFront NJ's existing diaper services that began formalizing in 2016. The key mechanism is a grant to expand HomeFront NJ's current diaper distribution to serve a larger region, with potential for statewide implementation, using state funds from the General Fund. The program aims to address the 47% of U.S. parents reporting diaper need in 2023, as documented by the National Diaper Bank Network.
