The bill proposes a supplemental appropriation of $597,450 for the fiscal year 2025 to the Department of Children and Families (DCF) specifically for the HomeFront NJ - Diaper Access Expansion Pilot Program. This funding aims to support HomeFront NJ in its mission to combat homelessness in Central New Jersey by providing essential diaper supplies to families in need. The organization has been informally supplying diapers since 2016 and has seen a significant increase in demand, prompting the need for additional state resources to expand their services potentially on a statewide level.

The appropriation is categorized under Grants-in-Aid for the Division of Family and Community Partnerships within the DCF. The bill emphasizes the critical issue of diaper need, which affects nearly half of parents in the United States, highlighting the importance of this funding to ensure that families can maintain the health and hygiene of their infants. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
