About Citizen Action Of New Jersey
Citizen Action Of New Jersey, a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Newark, New Jersey, is a federal grant recipient that delivers volunteer-powered tax assistance, fair housing education, and enforcement services to low-income and vulnerable populations across New Jersey as a prime recipient under Internal Revenue Service and Department of Housing and Urban Development grant programs.
The organization operates exclusively as a prime recipient across four federal agencies: the Internal Revenue Service (18 awards), HUD's Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity (14 awards), the Department of Treasury (6 awards), and HUD's Assistant Secretary for Housing Federal Housing Commissioner (6 awards). Citizen Action has received 44 federal grants totaling $5.1 million in combined obligations since 2003, with activity averaging three awards annually through 2024 before declining to two in 2025 and one in early 2026.
The bulk of Citizen Action's federal footprint centers on two IRS matching-grant programs. Under the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Matching Grant Program (CFDA 21.009), the organization has received annual project grants since 2021 to deliver free tax return preparation and filing services to low-to-moderate income populations, including those with disabilities, limited English proficiency, rural residents, military families, and elderly taxpayers. The most recent VITA award, dated October 1, 2025, for $150,000, runs through September 30, 2026, and requires Citizen Action to ensure at least 90 percent of returns prepared serve eligible low-income populations and file all eligible returns electronically. The organization also participates annually in the Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) Grant Program through cooperative agreements with IRS, providing free tax counseling and return preparation to taxpayers aged sixty and older; the current TCE agreement effective October 1, 2025, continues through September 30, 2026.
HUD's Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity funds Citizen Action's fair housing education, outreach, and enforcement work under the Fair Housing Organization Initiatives program (CFDA 14.417). A $125,000 project grant dated February 12, 2026, and running through February 11, 2027, supports community education, public awareness campaigns, and outreach addressing housing discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, and national origin. An earlier HUD award dated September 1, 2024, for the same program period through August 31, 2025, funded activities including four trainings for sixty community leaders and housing providers, 120 consumer workshops and outreach events, fair housing materials development and distribution, a media campaign reaching 200,000 New Jersey residents statewide, and social and digital media campaigns targeting discrimination against AAPI, Muslim, and LGBTQ+ communities and families on Section 8 assistance.
Three awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete opportunity. Citizen Action does not hold a federal contract vehicle and does not appear as a subrecipient on any tracked awards; its entire footprint is prime recipient work under IRS and HUD grant programs.
