The bill establishes a five-year pilot program within the New Jersey Department of Education aimed at enhancing school readiness and workforce development for low-income households. This two-generational program seeks to promote economic self-sufficiency by providing academic and job readiness support services to both parents and children within the same household. The program will be implemented in municipalities with poverty rates at least double the statewide average, as designated by the Commissioner of Education. Services offered will include early learning programs, adult education, child care, housing assistance, job training, transportation, financial literacy, and health services, all ideally provided at a single location.

Oversight of the pilot program will be managed by an interagency working group comprising various state department commissioners, legislative members, and representatives from low-income households, nonprofit organizations, and academic experts. This group will be responsible for evaluating the program's effectiveness and reporting on its outcomes, challenges, and recommendations for expansion to additional communities. The bill emphasizes the importance of partnerships with philanthropic organizations to facilitate the program's design and implementation, as well as the inclusion of a workforce liaison to align the program with local employment needs.
