This bill proposes a supplemental appropriation of $500,000 from the General Fund to the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs specifically for the New Jersey SOS Veterans Stakeholders Group. This group is dedicated to supporting veterans by offering various services, including financial assistance, housing support, emergency transportation, and benefits counseling, all aimed at enhancing the quality of life for veterans in the community.

In the current version of the bill, the appropriation replaces a previous allocation to the Catholic Charities, Diocese of Paterson for the SOS Veterans Unmet Needs Fund. The new funding will be directed towards the New Jersey SOS Veterans Stakeholders Group, which also aims to engage other veteran service providers to better assist veterans. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
