General Assistance (WorkFirst NJ) in Englewood, NJ, is dedicated to providing vital resources and support to individuals in need. Our program offers emergency assistance to eligible clients who require immediate help with essential necessities such as food, clothing, shelter, and household furnishings. We understand that financial instability can occur unexpectedly, which is why we also provide temporary rental assistance, back rent or mortgage payments, and utility payments to help ease the burden during tough times. Additionally, we offer transportation assistance for those searching for housing and help with moving expenses. While emergency financial assistance is typically available for up to 12 months, we are committed to reviewing cases for extensions in situations of hardship. For those who have recently lost their job through no fault of their own, we provide information on state unemployment benefits and potential welfare support after those benefits are exhausted. At WorkFirst NJ, we are here to ensure our community has access to the assistance and resources needed to regain stability and thrive.
