Calls upon Congress to release funds to offset COVID-19 related losses to DMVA's veteran memorial homes, and to fully fund rebuilding two veteran memorial homes.
AJR 91 is a New Jersey legislative resolution calling on Congress to provide funding for three state-operated veteran memorial homes. It specifically requests $15 million in federal funds to cover pandemic-related losses (including staffing costs, PPE, and lost revenue from halted admissions) and to fully rebuild the aging Paramus and Menlo Park facilities, which are decades old compared to Vineland’s 2005 rebuild. The resolution directly affects approximately 950 residents - veterans, spouses, and families of fallen service members - across these homes. The bill does not create new law but urges Congress to act on these financial and infrastructure needs.
