S 334 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Relates to provision of financial assistance to eligible property owners, renters, and vehicle owners impacted by remnants of Hurricane Ida; appropriates $100 million.

This bill appropriates $100 million to provide financial assistance to New Jersey residents affected by Hurricane Ida's remnants (Sept 2021 storm). It directly helps eligible property owners, renters, and vehicle owners who suffered damage to their primary residence or transportation, verified through FEMA, insurance, or municipal documentation. Key provisions include reimbursements for home repairs, temporary housing costs, vehicle replacement/repairs, uncovered personal property ($50,000 cap), and gap funding for disaster mitigation, while prioritizing those not covered by federal CDBG-DR funds (income limit: $1M combined income). The Division of Disaster Recovery and Mitigation will administer applications, set timelines, and prioritize claims if demand exceeds funds.
