Requires reservation of portion of funding under State rental assistance program for households ineligible for federal Section 8 program due to leave resulting from pregnancy or newborn care needs.

This bill requires New Jersey's State Rental Assistance Program (SRAP) to reserve a portion of its funding specifically for households that cannot access federal Section 8 housing assistance because they are taking time off work for pregnancy or newborn care (within six months). It directly affects low-income families experiencing pregnancy or infant care needs who are currently ineligible for federal Section 8 due to lack of exemption for parental leave. The key mechanism adds a new funding reservation under SRAP, ensuring state funds are available as an alternative support option when federal program participation is blocked by this specific circumstance. The policy change modifies existing state law to address a gap in housing assistance for this group.
