Introduced · New Jersey General Assembly · Lead sponsor

Establishes Senior Home Modification Grant Program to fund accessibility modification to homes of low-income senior citizens.

Maddy summaryNew Jersey Assembly Bill 5412 establishes the Senior Home Modification Grant Program within the Department of Community Affairs to help low-income seniors aged 62 and older make their homes more accessible. The program provides financial assistance for specific improvements such as ramps, grab bars, stair lifts, and bathroom modifications, with a requirement that a portion of funds be reserved for residents in rural or underserved communities. To finance these grants, the bill directs the department to allocate a share of the existing State Rental Assistance Program budget. Additionally, the Commissioner of Community Affairs must submit an annual report to the Governor and Legislature detailing program expenditures, application counts, and the number of nursing home placements prevented.
