Section 5:11-8.2 - Funding criteria

(a) A municipality meeting the following criteria may receive the total cost of relocation assistance and payments.

1. A population of less than 10,000;

2. A budget of less than $ 2.5 million;

3. 20 percent or more of the present housing stock in a deteriorated or dilapidated condition;

4. A lack of other state or federal funding for the purpose of relocation assistance.

(b) All municipalities not meeting the above criteria may be funded on a matching basis; provided, however, that any such municipality may receive additional funding upon a finding by the Department that such additional funding is necessary in order to provide relocation assistance to persons displaced from housing solely as a result of code enforcement involving any unanticipated imminent hazard.

(c) A publicly funded entity may receive a grant-in-aid on a project by project basis through agreement with the Department. In no event shall the amount of the grant-in-aid exceed 50 percent of the relocation costs.

(d) Grants in aid shall only be provided in cases where relocation assistance cannot be obtained or recovered from any other source including, without limitation, other governmental programs and owners of properties from which displacement occurred. Any municipality applying for a grant in aid for reimbursement of costs incurred for relocation due to code enforcement shall agree, as a condition of any such grant in aid, to exhaust all available remedies in order to recover any relocation costs for which the owner of any property from which displacement occurred may be liable and to repay to the Department its share of any funds so recovered.
