The grant funding will provide financial relief and restoration payments to offset losses incurred by blind vendors in New Jersey during calendar year 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, if those losses were not otherwise compensated. The funding will also support the state's Business Enterprise Program for the Blind through September 30, 2022. The Randolph-Sheppard Act establishes this federal grant program to provide employment opportunities for blind individuals operating vending facilities on federal and other properties.
