N.J. Stat. Ann. § 52:27D-280 et seq. § 52:27D-287g
Intercounty collaboration
Operative Text
7. A county may collaborate with any other county that has established a County Homelessness Trust Fund to provide joint funding for projects permitted under P.L.2009, c.123 (C.52:27D-287a et al.). L.2009, c.123, s.7.
Under N.J.S.A. 52:27D-280 et seq. § 52:27D-287g, New Jersey counties that have each established a County Homelessness Trust Fund are permitted to work together and pool their resources to jointly fund homelessness-related projects authorized under the same 2009 legislation. This provision creates a formal pathway for intercounty cooperation, allowing public funds to be combined across county lines for eligible initiatives. The rule expands the potential scale of homelessness funding efforts without requiring any single county to act alone.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers who develop or operate housing projects eligible under the County Homelessness Trust Fund framework should be aware that N.J.S.A. 52:27D-280 et seq. § 52:27D-287g allows multiple counties to jointly fund such projects. A compliant operator seeking funding through this program generally engages with the relevant county trust fund administrators to understand whether intercounty collaboration is being pursued for a given project. Awareness of this provision can inform how operators approach funding applications when projects span or serve multiple counties.

N.J.S.A. 52:27D-280 et seq. § 52:27D-287g authorizes counties to collaborate and combine homelessness trust fund resources, which can affect the availability and scale of housing assistance programs in a given area. Tenants experiencing housing instability may benefit from knowing that their county could be participating in a joint funding arrangement with neighboring counties, potentially expanding the pool of resources available for eligible projects. Those seeking assistance can contact their county's homelessness trust fund office or a local tenant-rights organization to learn what programs may be available under this intercounty framework.
