Bill Summary
This bill requires the Department of Community Affairs, to the extent that there remains sufficient, uncommitted appropriations, to resume the Reconstruction, Rehabilitation, Elevation and Mitigation program and accept grant applications to provide funding which was intended to fund the unmet needs of Superstorm Sandy-impacted homeowners who are still in need of recovery and rebuilding financial assistance.
AI Summary
This bill requires the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs (DCA) to restart the Reconstruction, Rehabilitation, Elevation and Mitigation (RREM) program, which provides financial assistance to homeowners impacted by Superstorm Sandy, using any remaining uncommitted funds. The RREM program was originally established to help homeowners recover from and rebuild after the devastating hurricane that struck the Northeast United States in 2012, causing extensive damage to coastal and inland communities in New Jersey. By resuming the program and accepting new grant applications, the bill aims to address the ongoing recovery needs of homeowners who have not yet received sufficient financial support to fully repair or elevate their homes. The legislation ensures that any leftover program funds can continue to be used to help Sandy-impacted homeowners complete their recovery efforts, with the bill taking effect immediately upon enactment.
