Grant Overview

New Jersey's housing market presents significant barriers to individuals with disabilities, with only 1 in 5 rental units being accessible. The state's dense urban areas, such as Newark and Jersey City, have some of the highest rental costs in the country, making it even more challenging for individuals with disabilities to find affordable housing. In New Jersey, 12% of the population lives with a disability, and the lack of accessible housing units exacerbates their housing insecurity. Developers in New Jersey face challenges in incorporating accessible units into new projects due to higher upfront costs and limited incentives. This funding opportunity supports nonprofit-led initiatives that improve housing outcomes for individuals with disabilities by developing partnerships with developers to include accessible units in new projects. Eligible organizations must demonstrate experience working with developers and have a track record of improving housing accessibility. New Jersey's unique urban density and high housing costs require applicants to demonstrate innovative approaches to integrating accessible housing units into existing development plans. Unlike neighboring New York, New Jersey's funding priorities focus on suburban and rural areas outside of the immediate NYC metropolitan area. ## Housing Accessibility in New Jersey's Regions ## New Jersey's diverse regions, from the Jersey Shore to the Skylands, present different housing challenges. The funding will prioritize initiatives that address these regional disparities. ## Who Should Apply in New Jersey ## Organizations with experience in housing development and disability advocacy are well-positioned to apply. They must demonstrate an understanding of New Jersey's specific housing regulations and accessibility standards.
