General Assistance (WorkFirst NJ) in Asbury Park, NJ, is dedicated to supporting individuals and families facing urgent challenges by providing essential Emergency Assistance (EA). Our program offers crucial services such as food assistance, clothing, shelter, temporary rental help, and utility payments to those in need. Additionally, we support our clients with transportation for housing searches and help cover moving expenses, ensuring a smoother transition during difficult times. While Emergency Assistance is typically available for up to 12 months, we understand that hardships can persist, and extensions may be granted as needed.
