Bill overview
This bill requires the New Jersey Department of Human Services (DHS) to create guidance for connecting Medicaid beneficiaries with housing-related services. The guidance will be shared with agencies like public housing authorities and Continuums of Care to ensure a coordinated approach to housing assistance. It also mandates the development of a memorandum of understanding between relevant agencies and the provision of technical assistance to support providers in accessing Medicaid reimbursement for these services. Finally, the bill requires the DHS to submit a report to the Governor and the Legislature two years after enactment, detailing the progress of aligning housing services and tracking outcomes.
