General Assistance (WorkFirst NJ)

At General Assistance WorkFirst NJ in Brick, NJ, we are dedicated to supporting individuals and families in crisis through essential Emergency Assistance (EA) programs. We provide vital resources including food assistance, clothing, temporary rental support, and help with utilities to ensure basic needs are met. Additionally, we offer transportation aid to seek housing and assistance with moving expenses. Our program prioritizes those who face sudden hardships, offering emergency financial help for up to 12 months, with the possibility of extensions under specific circumstances. For individuals who have recently lost employment through no fault of their own, we facilitate access to state unemployment benefits and additional welfare support as needed. We are here to help you navigate these challenges and work towards stability and self-sufficiency.
