LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
November 19, 1999
Dear Shareholder:
As we approach the end of the century--and the millennium--it seems
appropriate to take a look back at the progress we've made over the last 100
years and how the world of investing has changed over the generations. Although
rapid advances in technology and science have dramatically altered the world
that we live in today, one of the greatest shifts we've seen this century is the
increasing importance of investing for many Americans.
Once considered primarily for the wealthy, investing in the stock market is
now available to most people. In fact, almost 79 million individuals--who
represent almost half of all U.S. households--own stocks either directly or
through mutual funds. This is even more impressive when considering that just 16
years earlier, only 19 percent of households owned stocks. Another important
shift has been the need for retirement planning beyond a pension plan or Social
Security. The Investment Company Institute, the leading mutual fund industry
association, reports that 77 percent of all mutual fund shareholders earmarked
retirement as their primary financial goal in 1998.
Through all the changes in the investment environment over the past century,
the general principles that have made generations of investors successful remain
the same. Those that have stood the test of time include:
- Investing for the long-term
- Basing investment decisions on sound research
- Building a diversified portfolio
- Believing in the value of professional investment advice
While no one can predict the future, at Van Kampen, we believe that these
ideas will remain important tenets for investors well into the next century. As
we continue to focus on these principles, we hope that our decades of investment
experience can help bring you closer to your financial goals as we enter the new
millennium.
Sincerely,
[SIG]

ECONOMIC SNAPSHOT
ECONOMIC GROWTH
Americans continued their spending spree over the past year, keeping the
economy growing at a healthy pace. High levels of consumer confidence fueled
this heavy retail activity, which pushed the personal savings rate to a record
low as spending rates outpaced income growth. Although the U.S. economy
experienced a slowdown during the second quarter of 1999, growth rebounded
toward the end of the reporting period.
EMPLOYMENT SITUATION
The strong job market helped support the strength of the economy. During the
reporting period, the unemployment rate reached its lowest level in almost 30
years, and wages continued to climb. The wage pressures were balanced somewhat
by productivity gains. However, these pressures ultimately pushed the cost of
labor higher in the second quarter, as the employment cost index recorded its
biggest gain in eight years before returning to a more moderate level in the
third quarter.
INFLATION AND INTEREST RATES
Inflation remained tame throughout most of the reporting period, although a
sharp increase in oil prices contributed to a spike in April's consumer price
index report. The Federal Reserve Board remained active in guarding against
inflation and tempering the economy during this environment. The Fed reversed
its three interest rate cuts from the fall of 1998, raising rates in June,
August, and November 1999 to keep the economy from overheating.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT REVIEW
VAN KAMPEN NEW JERSEY VALUE MUNICIPAL INCOME TRUST
We recently spoke with representatives of the adviser of the Van Kampen New
Jersey Value Municipal Trust about the key events and economic forces that
shaped the markets during the past year. Timothy D. Haney, portfolio manager,
has managed the Trust since 1995 and worked in the investment industry since
1988. He is joined by Peter W. Hegel, chief investment officer for fixed-income
investments. The following discussion reflects their views on the Trust's
performance during the 12 months ended October 31, 1999.
Q WHAT HAPPENED IN THE MUNICIPAL MARKET DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD?
A Bonds of all types experienced price declines during the past 12 months
as interest rates rose, especially toward the end of the reporting period. In
addition to the negative effects of the Federal Reserve Board's two
interest-rate increases during the summer, the bond market declined as the
nation's strong economic growth continued to spark inflation fears, leading to
concern about future rate hikes. Because of low institutional demand for
municipal bonds during the period, these conditions affected municipals more
than their taxable counterparts--corporate and Treasury bonds. The yields of
newly issued 30-year AAA municipal bonds rose more than a full percentage point
during the 12-month period, so the prices of existing bonds dropped
concurrently. The bonds in the Trust's portfolio were not spared by this market
movement and suffered price declines along with the rest of the municipal
market.
The interest-rate increases also suppressed municipal bond supply,
bringing overall nationwide issuance down more than 20 percent in the first ten
months of the year compared with 1998. Supply was down in almost every sector,
with electric-utility and health-care bonds experiencing the most significant
drops. Although new issuance kept pace with last year's active market, the
amount of bonds issued through refinancing was down more than 50 percent for the
year through October. Many municipalities simply chose not to refinance
outstanding bonds because of the higher interest rates they would have to pay in
the current marketplace.
Q DID MUNICIPAL BONDS BENEFIT FROM THE STRONG ECONOMY?
A Yes. The effects of the healthy economy were reflected in the good credit
conditions in the municipal market, even though prices suffered. With the
exception of the health-care sector, overall credit quality remained high, and
we witnessed a number of credit upgrades as tax revenues kept municipal finances
strong.

<PAGE> 6
Q COULD YOU DESCRIBE NEW JERSEY'S ECONOMIC AND MUNICIPAL MARKET ENVIRONMENT
DURING THE YEAR?
A The economy in New Jersey remained strong as the state continued to
diversify from manufacturing into the service-related sectors.
Greater-than-expected tax revenues and expenditure controls continued to
increase budget surpluses, supporting the solid financial position of many
municipalities throughout the state. Although municipal bond supply nationwide
declined during the year, issuance in New Jersey actually increased during the
first 10 months of 1999 compared with the previous year, with more than $7
billion in municipal debt issued through the end of October.
Q WHAT TECHNIQUES DID YOU USE TO MANAGE THE TRUST IN THESE CONDITIONS?
A We took advantage of the general market price declines to enhance the
current income potential and tax management of the Trust. We sold some of
our holdings at a capital loss to offset some of the gains we had earned
early in 1999. This allowed us to avoid the need to distribute taxable capital
gains to shareholders this year. We replaced these bonds with longer-maturity,
higher-yielding issues, increasing the Trust's income stream and contributing to
a dividend increase. The new bonds also had better protection against bond
calls.
As a consequence of this strategy, there was an increase in the
portfolio's duration, or sensitivity to interest-rate changes. We feel that the
longer duration will benefit the Trust in a declining interest-rate environment
by allowing it to participate more fully in a market rally. In the short term,
however, the longer duration negatively affected the Trust's total return as
interest rates climbed.
Q WHAT AREAS OF THE MUNICIPAL MARKET WERE MOST ATTRACTIVE TO YOU?
A We focused on the bonds that, going forward, we felt would be in greatest
demand by retail investors. That often involved selling the holdings that
provided the most in-demand coupon rate by individual investors (which
varied as interest rates increased) and replacing them with other issues that
appeared to be undervalued, which contributed to the Trust's total return. For
example, we believe that we found good value in bonds issued by the New Jersey
Economic Development Authority to construct commuter rail systems in the state.
Because it involved a large issuance, these bonds paid attractive rates and we
anticipate strong retail demand for these bonds in the future. For additional
portfolio highlights, please refer to page 8.

<PAGE> 7
Q HOW DID THE TRUST PERFORM DURING THE PERIOD?
A Total return performance was disappointing because of the general downturn
in bond prices. In addition, the Trust's leverage component hurt its
performance during the period. Although leverage helps the Trust provide
higher income levels to common shareholders, it made the portfolio more
sensitive to the interest-rate increases during the reporting period. For the
one-year period ended October 31, 1999, the Trust returned -12.40 percent(1)
based on market price. This reflects a decrease in market price from $14.75 per
share on October 31, 1998, to $12.25 per share on October 31, 1999.
On the positive side, the dividend was increased in September 1999 as the
Trust's older bonds were replaced with higher-yielding issues. The monthly
tax-exempt dividend of $0.0675 per share translates to a distribution rate of
6.61 percent(3) based on the Trust's closing market price on October 31, 1999.
Because the Trust is exempt from federal and New Jersey income taxes, this
distribution rate is equivalent to a taxable yield of 11.04 percent(4) for an
investor in the 40.1 percent combined federal and state income tax bracket.
Please refer to the chart and footnotes on page 3 for additional performance
results. Past performance does not guarantee future performance.
Q WHAT DO YOU SEE AHEAD FOR THE ECONOMY AND THE MUNICIPAL MARKET?
A In the coming months, we will probably see a slowing economy, which may be
partly the result of year 2000 concerns. Wage increases will likely keep
inflation fears at the forefront, although increasing productivity should
be able to offset higher wage costs for employers.
Preparations for the turn of the millennium may also limit new issuance
and general market activity at the end of the year. Many municipal issuers are
planning to postpone issuing bonds until they feel certain that any potential
computer problems have been avoided, but we believe that market activity should
pick up early in 2000. In the meantime, we will continue to focus on finding
attractive-yielding bonds and protecting the Trust from bond calls as much as
possible. We will also use our extensive research capabilities to look for
attractive opportunities throughout the coming months.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS
CALL FEATURE: Allows the issuer to buy back a bond on specific dates at set
prices before maturity. These dates and prices are set when the bond is
issued. To compensate the bondholder for the potential loss of income and
ownership, a bond's call price is usually higher than the face value of the
bond. Bonds are usually called when interest rates drop so significantly
that the issuer can save money by issuing new bonds at lower rates.
CREDIT RATING: An evaluation of an issuer's credit history and capability of
repaying obligations. Standard & Poor's and Moody's Investors Service are
two companies that assign bond ratings. Standard & Poor's ratings range from
a high of AAA to a low of D, while Moody's ratings range from a high of Aaa
to a low of C.
CREDIT SPREAD: Also called quality spread, the difference in yield between
higher-quality issues and lower-quality issues. Normally, lower-quality
issues provide higher yields to compensate investors for the additional
credit risk.
DISCOUNT BOND: A bond whose market price is lower than its face value (or "par
value"). Because bonds usually mature at face value, a discount bond has
more potential to appreciate in price than a par bond does.
DURATION: A measure of the sensitivity of a bond's price to changes in interest
rates, expressed in years. Each year of duration represents an expected 1
percent change in the price of a bond for every 1 percent change in interest
rates (i.e. a 5-year duration means the bond will fall about 5 percent in
value if interest rates rise by 1 percent). The longer a bond's duration,
the greater the effect of interest rate movements on its price. Typically,
funds with shorter durations perform better in rising rate environments,
while funds with longer durations perform better when rates decline.
INVESTMENT-GRADE BONDS: Securities rated BBB and above by Standard & Poor's or
Baa and above by Moody Investors Service. Bonds rated below BBB or Baa are
noninvestment grade.
MATURITY LENGTH: The time it takes for a bond to mature. A bond issued in 1999
and maturing in 2009 is a 10-year bond.
PREREFUNDING: The process of issuing new bonds to refinance an outstanding
municipal bond issue prior to its maturity or call date. The proceeds from
the new bonds are generally invested in U.S. government securities.
Prerefunding typically occurs when interest rates decline and an issuer
replaces its higher-yielding bonds with current lower-yielding issues.
ZERO COUPON BONDS: A corporate or municipal bond that is traded at a deep
discount to face value and pays no interest. It is redeemed at maturity for
full face value.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
October 31, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Van Kampen New Jersey Value Municipal Income Trust (the "Trust") is registered
as a non-diversified closed-end management investment company under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Trust's investment objective is
to provide a high level of current income exempt from federal income taxes and
New Jersey gross income tax, consistent with preservation of capital. The Trust
will invest substantially all of its assets in New Jersey municipal securities
rated investment grade at the time of investment. The Trust commenced investment
operations on April 30, 1993.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
A. SECURITY VALUATION--Municipal bonds are valued by independent pricing
services or dealers using the mean of the bid and asked prices or, in the
absence of market quotations, at fair value based upon yield data relating to
municipal bonds with similar characteristics and general market conditions.
Securities which are not valued by independent pricing services are valued at
fair value using procedures established in good faith by the Board of Trustees.
Short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at
amortized cost.
B. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS--Security transactions are recorded on a trade date
basis. Realized gains and losses are determined on an identified cost basis. The
Trust may purchase and sell securities on a "when-issued" or "delayed delivery"
basis with settlement to occur at a later date. The value of the security so
purchased is subject to market fluctuations during this period. The Trust will
maintain, in a segregated account with its custodian, assets having an aggregate
value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued or delayed delivery
purchase commitments until payment is made. At October 31, 1999, there were no
when issued and delayed delivery purchase commitments.
18
<PAGE> 20
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
October 31, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
C. INVESTMENT INCOME--Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Bond
premium and original issue discount are amortized over the expected life of each
applicable security.
D. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES--It is the Trust's policy to comply with the
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment
companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its
shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required.
The Trust intends to utilize provisions of the federal income tax laws which
allow it to carry a realized capital loss forward for eight years following the
year of the loss and offset such losses against any future realized capital
gains. At October 31, 1999, the Trust had an accumulated capital loss
carryforward for tax purposes of $3,124,518 which will expire between October
31, 2002 and October 31, 2007.
At October 31, 1999, for federal income tax purposes, cost of long- and
short-term investments is $58,031,115; the aggregate gross unrealized
appreciation is $1,808,353 and the aggregate gross unrealized depreciation is
$610,032, resulting in net unrealized appreciation on long- and short-term
investments of $1,198,321.
E. DISTRIBUTION OF INCOME AND GAINS--The Trust declares and pays dividends
monthly from net investment income to common shareholders. Net realized gains,
if any, are distributed annually on a pro rata basis to common and preferred
shareholders. Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may
include short-term capital gains, which are included as ordinary income for tax
purposes.
F. EXPENSE REDUCTION--During the year ended October 31, 1999, the Trust's
custody fee was reduced by $1,366 as a result of credits earned on overnight
cash balances.
2. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Under the terms of the Trust's Investment Advisory Agreement, Van Kampen
Investment Advisory Corp. (the "Adviser") will provide investment advice and
facilities to the Trust for an annual fee payable monthly of .65% of the average
net assets of the Trust. In addition, the Trust will pay a monthly
administrative fee to Van Kampen Funds Inc. or its affiliates (collectively "Van
Kampen"), the Trust's Administrator, at an annual rate of .20% of the average
net assets of the Trust. The administrative services provided by the
Administrator
19
<PAGE> 21
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
October 31, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
include record keeping and reporting responsibilities with respect to the
Trust's portfolio and preferred shares and providing certain services to
shareholders.
For the year ended October 31, 1999, the Trust recognized expenses of
approximately $1,000 representing legal services provided by Skadden, Arps,
Slate, Meagher & Flom (Illinois), counsel to the Trust, of which a trustee of
the Trust is an affiliated person.
For the year ended October 31, 1999, the Trust recognized expenses of
approximately $50,000 representing Van Kampen's cost of providing accounting and
legal services to the Trust.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are also officers and directors
of Van Kampen. The Trust does not compensate its officers or trustees who are
officers of Van Kampen.
The Trust provides deferred compensation and retirement plans for its
trustees who are not officers of Van Kampen. Under the deferred compensation
plan, trustees may elect to defer all or a portion of their compensation to a
later date. Benefits under the retirement plan are payable for a ten-year period
and are based upon each trustee's years of service to the Trust. The maximum
annual benefit per trustee under the plan is $2,500.
3. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
During the period, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments,
excluding short-term investments, were $8,424,358 and $8,505,717 respectively.
4. PREFERRED SHARES
Effective with the close of business on April 23, 1999, the liquidation
preference on the Trust's preferred shares decreased from $50,000 to $25,000 per
share. This decrease was effected by means of a 2 for 1 stock split that doubled
the Trust's number of outstanding preferred shares. The total liquidation value
for the Trust was unchanged.
As of October 31, 1999, the Trust has outstanding 1,000 Auction Preferred
Shares ("APS"). Dividends are cumulative and the dividend rate is currently
reset every seven days through an auction process. The rate in effect on October
31, 1999 was 3.350%. During the year ended October 31, 1999, the rates ranged
from 2.000% to 4.375%.
The Trust pays annual fees equivalent to .25% of the preferred share
liquidation value for the remarketing efforts associated with the preferred
auctions. These fees are included as a component of Preferred Share Maintenance
expense.
20
<PAGE> 22
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
October 31, 1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The APS are redeemable at the option of the Trust in whole or in part at the
liquidation value of $25,000 per share plus accumulated and unpaid dividends.
The Trust is subject to certain asset coverage tests and the APS are subject to
mandatory redemption if the tests are not met.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
Van Kampen New Jersey Value Municipal Income Trust:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Van
Kampen New Jersey Value Municipal Income Trust (the "Trust"), including the
portfolio of investments, as of October 31, 1999, the related statement of
operations for the year ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each
of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each
of the periods presented. These financial statements and financial highlights
are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based
on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of
October 31, 1999, by correspondence with the custodian. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Van
Kampen New Jersey Value Municipal Income Trust as of October 31, 1999, the
results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets
for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights
for each of the periods presented, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN
The Trust offers a dividend reinvestment plan (the "Plan") pursuant to which
Common Shareholders may elect to have dividends and capital gains distributions
reinvested in Common Shares of the Trust. The Trust declares dividends out of
net investment income, and will distribute annually net realized capital gains,
if any. Common Shareholders may join or withdraw from the Plan at any time.
If you decide to participate in the Plan, State Street Bank and Trust
Company, as your Plan Agent, will automatically invest your dividends and
capital gains distributions in Common Shares of the Trust for your account.
HOW TO PARTICIPATE
If you wish to participate and your shares are held in your own name, call
1-800-341-2929 for more information and a Plan brochure. If your shares are held
in the name of a brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee, you should contact your
nominee to see if it would participate in the Plan on your behalf. If you wish
to participate in the Plan, but your brokerage firm, bank or nominee is unable
to participate on your behalf, you should request that your shares be re-
registered in your own name which will enable your participation in the Plan.
HOW THE PLAN WORKS
Participants in the Plan will receive the equivalent in Common Shares valued on
the valuation date, generally at the lower of market price or net asset value,
except as specified below. The valuation date will be the dividend or
distribution payment date or, if that date is not a trading day on the national
securities exchange or market system on which the Common Shares are listed for
trading, the next preceding trading day. If the market price per Common Share on
the valuation date equals or exceeds net asset value per Common Share on that
date, the Trust will issue new Common Shares to participants valued at the
higher of net asset value or 95% of the market price on the valuation date. In
the foregoing situation, the Trust will not issue Common Shares under the Plan
below net asset value. If net asset value per Common Share on the valuation date
exceeds the market price per Common Share on that date, or if the Board of
Trustees should declare a dividend or capital gains distribution payable to the
Common Shareholders only in cash, participants in the Plan will be deemed to
have elected to receive Common Shares from the Trust valued at the market price
on that date. Accordingly, in this circumstance, the Plan Agent will, as agent
for the participants, buy the Trust's Common Shares in the open market for the
participants' accounts on or shortly after the payment date. If, before the Plan
Agent has completed its purchases, the market price exceeds the net asset value
per share of the Common Shares, the average per share purchase price paid by the
Plan Agent may exceed the net asset value of the Trust's Common Shares,
resulting in the acquisition of fewer Common Shares than if the dividend or
distribution had been paid in Common Shares issued by the Trust. All
reinvestments are in full and fractional Common shares and are carried to three
decimal places.
Experience under the Plan may indicate that changes are desirable.
Accordingly, the Trust reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan as
applied to any dividend or distribution paid subsequent to written notice of the
change sent to all Common Shareholders of the Trust at least 90 days before the
record date for the dividend or distribution. The Plan also may be amended or
terminated by the Plan Agent by at least 90 days written notice to all Common
Shareholders of the Trust.
COSTS OF THE PLAN
The Plan Agent's fees for the handling of the reinvestment of dividends and
distributions will be paid by the Trust. However, each participant will pay a
pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to the Plan
Agent's open market purchases in connection with the reinvestment of dividends
and distributions. No other charges will be made to participants for reinvesting
dividends or capital gains distributions, except for certain brokerage
commissions, as described above.
TAX IMPLICATIONS
You will receive tax information annually for your personal records and to help
you prepare your federal income tax return. The automatic reinvestment of
dividends and capital gains distributions does not relieve you of any income tax
which may be payable on dividends or distributions.
RIGHT TO WITHDRAW
Plan participants may withdraw at any time by calling 1-800-341-2929 or by
writing State Street Bank and Trust Company, P.O. Box 8200, Boston, MA
02266-8200. If you withdraw, you will receive, without charge, a share
certificate issued in your name for all full Common Shares credited to your
account under the Plan and a cash payment will be made for any fractional Common
Share credited to your account under the Plan. You may again elect to
participate in the Plan at any time by calling 1-800-341-2929 or writing to the
Trust at:

YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE
Like other mutual funds, financial and business organizations and individuals
around the world, the Trust could be adversely affected if the computer systems
used by the Trust's investment adviser and other service providers do not
properly process and calculate date-related information and data from and after
January 1, 2000. This is commonly known as the "Year 2000 Problem." The Trust's
investment adviser is taking steps that it believes are reasonably designed to
address the Year 2000 Problem with respect to computer systems that it uses and
to obtain reasonable assurances that comparable steps are being taken by the
Trust's other major service providers. At this time, there can be no assurances
that these steps will be sufficient to avoid any adverse impact to the Trust. In
addition, the Year 2000 Problem may adversely affect the markets and the issuers
of securities in which the Trust may invest that, in turn, may adversely affect
the net asset value of the Trust. Improperly functioning trading systems may
result in settlement problems and liquidity issues. In addition, corporate and
governmental data processing errors may result in production problems for
individual companies or issuers and overall economic uncertainty. Earnings of
individual issuers will be affected by remediation costs, which may be
substantial and may be reported inconsistently in U.S. and foreign financial
statements. Accordingly, the Trust's investments may be adversely affected. The
statements above are subject to the Year 2000 Information and Readiness
Disclosure Act, which may limit the legal rights regarding the use of such
statements in the case of dispute.
