Requires DCA and housing authorities to permit certain nonviolent ex-offenders to temporarily reside with family member in certain subsidized housing.

This bill requires New Jersey housing authorities and the Department of Community Affairs to allow nonviolent ex-offenders to temporarily live with family members in subsidized housing projects. It defines "nonviolent ex-offenders" as people recently released from prison (within 12 months) who have no convictions for violent crimes, meth production in housing, or sex offenses requiring lifetime registration. Housing authorities must permit this temporary stay (max 6 months) and cannot deny it based on the ex-offender's criminal record, aligning with existing Fair Chance in Housing protections. The policy applies to all subsidized housing projects, including those using federal Section 8 or state rental assistance programs.
