General Assistance (WorkFirst NJ) in Hightstown, NJ, is dedicated to supporting individuals in times of need by providing essential emergency assistance for those facing financial hardships. Our services include vital food assistance, clothing, temporary shelter, and essential household furnishings. We also offer temporary rental support, utility payments, transportation for housing searches, and moving expenses. While emergency financial assistance is typically available for up to 12 months, we understand that hardships can extend beyond that, and we are here to help navigate potential extensions. If you’ve recently lost a job through no fault of your own after at least 20 weeks of employment, you may qualify for state unemployment benefits, with additional welfare options available afterward. We are committed to ensuring that residents of Hightstown receive the support they need during challenging times.
