Program Overview:
The Neighborhood Revitalization Tax Credit Program (NRTC) is designed to foster the revitalization of New Jersey's distressed neighborhoods. NRTC offers business entities a 100 percent tax credit against various New Jersey state taxes. Credits are provided to business entities that invest in the revitalization of low- and moderate-income neighborhoods in eligible cities. Sixty percent of the tax credit funds must be used for activities related to the development of housing and economic development. The remaining balance may be used for complementary activities such as the provision of assistance to small businesses, removing barriers to self-sufficiency, and promoting the integration of mixed-income neighborhoods.  A total of $10 million per year is available in tax credits.

NRTC funds are used by neighborhood-based non-profit organizations that have prepared, submitted and received approval from the Department for a revitalization plan for the neighborhood it serves.  The funds must be used by the eligible organizations for projects and activities that will implement the goals and strategies of the approved neighborhood plan.  The maximum amount per application is $1 million.  NRTC rules and policies govern the number of applications and grants that an eligible organization may submit and receive.

Information about NRTC projects in need of funding can be found in the "Clearinghouse" document (which is updated regularly by NRTC staff) and in the "Project Profiles" section (these are submitted periodically by eligible organizations).
