At General Assistance (WorkFirst NJ) in Millville, NJ, we are dedicated to providing essential support to individuals facing financial hardships through our comprehensive Emergency Assistance program. Our mission is to ensure that eligible clients have access to critical resources like emergency food, clothing, shelter, and household furnishings. We also offer temporary rental assistance, back rent or mortgage payments, utility payments including heating and water, and transportation to facilitate housing searches. While our Emergency Assistance is typically available for up to 12 months, we understand that extenuating circumstances arise, and we may grant extensions under specific hardship conditions. If you've recently lost a job through no fault of your own and have been employed for at least 20 weeks, you may qualify for state unemployment benefits, with additional welfare options also available as needed. We are here to help our community navigate these challenging times with care and urgency.
