Commissioner of Community Affairs, notification, New Jersey Homelessness Prevention Task Force termination, transfer to Interagency Council on Homelessness
Operative Text
2. The Commissioner of Community Affairs shall notify the members of the New Jersey Homelessness Prevention Task Force established pursuant to section 2 of P.L.2019, c.73 (C.52:27D-287.6) of the termination of the task force, and otherwise provide for the transfer or other disposition of the records, property, and personnel of the New Jersey Homelessness Prevention Task Force to the Interagency Council on Homelessness. L.2023, c.307, s.2.
Under N.J.S.A. 52:27D-280 et seq. § 52:27D-287.6a, enacted in 2023, the New Jersey Commissioner of Community Affairs is required to formally notify members of the Homelessness Prevention Task Force that the task force has been dissolved. The Commissioner must also arrange for the orderly transfer of the task force's records, property, and personnel to the newly established Interagency Council on Homelessness. This provision is an administrative transition measure, shifting homelessness-prevention oversight from one governmental body to another.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Although N.J.S.A. 52:27D-280 et seq. § 52:27D-287.6a is primarily an administrative restructuring provision directed at state government, property owners and managers who previously interacted with the New Jersey Homelessness Prevention Task Force should be aware that the relevant functions have moved to the Interagency Council on Homelessness. Operators engaged in homelessness-prevention programs or partnerships with the state would generally direct future inquiries and correspondence to the new Council rather than the dissolved Task Force. Staying current with the successor agency's guidance helps ensure continued compliance with any related program requirements.

Tenants and individuals at risk of homelessness should know that under N.J.S.A. 52:27D-280 et seq. § 52:27D-287.6a, the state body previously overseeing homelessness prevention—the New Jersey Homelessness Prevention Task Force—has been formally dissolved, with its responsibilities transferred to the Interagency Council on Homelessness. Those seeking assistance or information about homelessness-prevention programs may wish to contact the Interagency Council on Homelessness or a local tenant-rights organization to learn which resources and programs remain available. Understanding this structural change can help individuals navigate where to direct requests for support or information.
