Introduced · New Jersey General Assembly · Lead sponsor

Establishes two-generational school readiness and workforce development pilot program for certain low-income households.

Maddy summaryNew Jersey Assembly Bill 5385 establishes a five-year pilot program within the Department of Education designed to support low-income households by providing academic and job readiness services to both parents and children simultaneously. The program will operate in municipalities where the poverty rate is at least double the state average, offering integrated services such as early learning, adult education, child care, housing assistance, and financial literacy training. An interagency working group comprising state officials, legislators, business representatives, and members of low-income families will oversee the initiative, which is funded by up to $1.5 million in annual state appropriations plus available private funds. The pilot aims to create a model for statewide expansion, with a comprehensive report on outcomes and recommendations due four years after the act takes effect.
