Makes supplemental appropriation of $1.5 million from General Fund to DOH and DCA for Camden Coalition of Healthcare Providers.
This bill allocates $1.5 million from New Jersey's General Fund to fund two specific programs run by the Camden Coalition of Healthcare Providers. It provides $1 million to the Department of Health for the "Pledge to Connect Program," which helps hospital patients with behavioral health needs access community-based care to reduce future emergency visits. It also allocates $500,000 to the Department of Community Affairs for the "Housing First Program," which provides permanent housing and support services to chronically homeless individuals in Camden. The funding restores state support for these programs, which had not received dedicated funding in the current fiscal year.
