AI Summary

This bill establishes the Code Blue Shelter Matching Grant Program within the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs (DCA) to provide matching grants to community-based nonprofit organizations that provide shelter services during Code Blue alerts, which are declarations of extreme cold weather conditions. The bill sets out the eligibility requirements for the grants, including that the nonprofit organization must have received a prior grant from a county or municipality within the past 12 months. The DCA will award the matching grants based on review and analytical criteria, and will maintain records of the underlying grants provided by each county and municipality. The bill also requires the DCA Commissioner to submit a report to the Governor and Legislature on the effectiveness of the program within three years of its establishment.
