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 using any remaining uncommitted funds. The RREM program, which was originally created to help homeowners recover from the devastating impact of Superstorm Sandy in 2012, will now accept new grant applications from homeowners who still have unmet recovery and rebuilding needs. The bill defines eligible homeowners as those impacted by Superstorm Sandy according to a previous legal definition established in 2015. By resuming the program, the bill aims to provide financial assistance to residents who have not yet fully recovered from the storm's destruction, potentially helping them repair, elevate, or rebuild their homes. The legislation will take effect immediately upon enactment, allowing the DCA to quickly begin processing new grant applications.
