2018 RFP Women's Shelter Grant - Facility Improvement

This 2018 New Jersey Women’s Shelter Grant provides up to $10,000 per awardee for facility‑improvement projects at domestic‑violence shelters that are licensed by the NJ Department of Community Affairs. The program is overseen by the Department of Children and Families and uses a competitive RFP process with a submission deadline of May 1 2018 and an award date of May 29 2018. Grants must be obligated by June 30 2018 and require at least one contractor quote at submission and two additional “like” bids after award. Eight organizations across various counties received awards, with total program funding capped at $58,000. The grant covers construction, renovation, equipment, security upgrades, and related improvements, but expenses incurred before the contract effective date are not reimbursable.
