Bill overview
This bill creates a loan program for first-time homebuyers who move to New Jersey municipalities with a high number of abandoned properties. The program, administered by the New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency, offers interest-free, deferred second mortgage loans up to $10,000 to cover qualified repairs to residential properties. To be eligible, applicants must meet specific criteria related to education, military service, employment, community involvement, and relocation, and must purchase a property within a designated ‘eligible area’ – the 10 municipalities with the most abandoned properties and surrounding areas.
