On Monday, June 25, A-586 was favorably reported out of the Assembly Appropriations Committee. This legislation establishes a rental assistance program for low-income households, supplementing existing programs under the Prevention of Homelessness Act. The program prioritizes senior citizens and veterans and includes provisions for tenant-based vouchers, homeownership assistance, and the Home Repair Emergency Assistance Fund.
The League supports this legislation as it expands existing programs that assist residents with home ownership.
