Within 60 days of the effective date of P.L.2015, c.102 (C.52:15D-3 et seq.), the commissioner shall report to the Governor and the Legislature, pursuant to section 2 of P.L.1991, c.164 (C.52:14-19.1), regarding the allocation of Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery funds and other funds that may be available for relief efforts associated with Superstorm Sandy. The commissioner shall evaluate and determine the extent to which the department may provide unused Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery funds and other funds that may be available for similar purposes to persons, who have submitted an application for assistance from a recovery and rebuilding program that is still pending before the department, as interim assistance for the applicants' mortgage payments and rent. If the commissioner determines that utilizing unused Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery funds, other funds that may be available for similar purposes, or both, for interim assistance is inappropriate, then the commissioner shall issue a report to the Governor and the Legislature, pursuant to section 2 of P.L.1991, c.164 (C.52:14-19.1), detailing why the use of these funds for interim assistance is inappropriate. If the commissioner determines that utilizing unused Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery funds, other funds that may be available for similar purposes, or both, for interim assistance is appropriate, then the commissioner shall issue a report to the Governor and the Legislature, pursuant to section 2 of P.L.1991, c.164 (C.52:14-19.1), establishing a strategy for the rapid disbursement of unused Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery funds, other funds that may be available for similar purposes, or both, for interim assistance.
b. The report required by this section shall include:
(1) an estimate of the total need for interim assistance among persons who have submitted an application for assistance from a recovery and rebuilding program that is still pending before the department;
(2) the portion of the total need for interim assistance that the department intends to meet through the rapid disbursement of unused Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery funds and other funds that may be available for similar purposes;
(3) the portion of the total need for interim assistance that the department intends not to meet through the rapid disbursement of unused Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery funds and other funds that may be available for similar purposes; and
(4) the means by which the department will decide which applicants will receive interim assistance if the department determines that it cannot satisfy the full need for interim assistance among persons who have submitted an application for assistance from a recovery and rebuilding program that is still pending before the department.
