Bill Summary
This bill requires applications for age-restricted senior housing to be made available by mail or email, upon request. Housing access is essential for New Jersey seniors, but online applications and hard copies which must be collected in person are not accessible to many seniors. Applications available in requested formats will facilitate access to dedicated age-restricted housing for New Jersey seniors. The bill authorizes the Commissioner of Community Affairs to adopt rules and regulations to effectuate the provisions of the bill. The bill is to take effect on the first day of the second month next following enactment.
AI Summary
This bill requires that any applications for age-restricted senior housing, which are dwellings specifically designated for older individuals and comply with federal housing laws like the "Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988," must be provided to prospective residents by mail or email if requested. This aims to make it easier for seniors to access housing options, as current methods might rely too heavily on online forms or in-person collection, which can be difficult for some. The Commissioner of Community Affairs, a state official responsible for housing and community development, is authorized to create the necessary rules and regulations to implement this law, which will become effective on the first day of the second month after it is officially passed.
