General Assistance (WorkFirst NJ)
State of New Jersey Department of Human Services (DHS) - Division of Family Development (DFD)
At WorkFirst NJ in Perth Amboy, we are dedicated to providing essential emergency assistance to those in need. Our program supports eligible clients by offering vital services such as food assistance, clothing, shelter, and household items. We understand the urgency of maintaining stability, which is why we also provide temporary rental assistance, back rent or mortgage payments, and utility help for essentials like heat and water. In addition to financial support, we assist individuals with transportation for housing searches and moving expenses. While Emergency Assistance is typically available for up to 12 months, we recognize that unique situations may arise, allowing for possible extensions under specific hardship conditions. Those who have been employed regularly and face unexpected job loss may qualify for state unemployment benefits, with additional welfare options available once those benefits expire. Our mission is to ensure that every individual in our community has access to the resources needed for a better tomorrow.
