Located in Little Falls, NJ, General Assistance (WorkFirst NJ) is dedicated to supporting individuals and families in urgent need through our comprehensive Emergency Assistance program. We provide essential resources such as emergency food, clothing, shelter, and household furnishings to help those facing unexpected hardships. Our services also extend to temporary rental assistance, back rent or mortgage payments, utility payments, and transportation aid for housing searches. While our emergency financial assistance is typically available for up to 12 months, we understand that circumstances can be challenging, and extensions may be granted for qualifying hardships. Additionally, individuals who have been employed for at least 20 weeks and lose their job through no fault of their own may access state unemployment benefits, with further welfare support available once those benefits expire. At General Assistance, we strive to offer tangible support in times of crisis, empowering our clients towards stability and self-sufficiency.
