General Assistance (WorkFirst NJ) in Edison, NJ is dedicated to empowering individuals in crisis by providing essential emergency assistance. Our program offers eligible clients support through critical resources such as emergency food, clothing, shelter, and household furnishings, along with temporary rental assistance or coverage for back rent and mortgage payments. We also help with utility payments, transportation for housing searches, and moving expenses. While emergency financial assistance is typically available for up to 12 months, we understand that life can present unforeseen challenges, and extensions may be granted under qualifying hardship circumstances. We believe in assisting those who have lost their jobs through no fault of their own by connecting them to state unemployment benefits and additional welfare support as needed. Our commitment is to deliver urgent aid and compassionate guidance for those navigating difficult times.
