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 Department of Community Affairs (DCA) to restart the Reconstruction, Rehabilitation, Elevation and Mitigation (RREM) program using any remaining uncommitted funds to provide financial assistance to homeowners impacted by Superstorm Sandy who still have unmet recovery and rebuilding needs. The RREM program was originally established to help homeowners repair, rebuild, elevate, or mitigate damage caused by the devastating hurricane that hit the New Jersey coast in October 2012. By resuming the program and accepting new grant applications, the bill aims to continue supporting residents who have not yet fully recovered from the storm's extensive damage. The bill would take effect immediately upon enactment, allowing the DCA to quickly process applications from eligible homeowners who continue to struggle with storm-related recovery efforts.
