Requires organizations providing services to homeless persons to participate in Homeless Management Information System to track occupancy of shelter beds.

Summary

The bill creates an Office of Homelessness Prevention within the Department of Community Affairs and directs it to adopt rules that all state, local and private organizations serving homeless individuals must use the Homeless Management Information System. Providers must submit data, including real‑time shelter‑bed occupancy, and may receive grants to cover participation costs. The goal is to give New Jersey a clearer picture of shelter capacity and improve coordination of services.
