General Assistance (WorkFirst NJ) in Clifton, NJ is dedicated to providing critical support to eligible individuals facing challenging circumstances. Our program offers Emergency Assistance that includes essential food, clothing, shelter, household furnishings, and temporary rental or back rent assistance. We also help with utility payments, transportation for housing searches, and moving expenses to ensure stability during tough times. While our emergency financial assistance is typically available for up to 12 months, we understand that hardships can extend beyond that, and we work to provide extensions when feasible. We are committed to helping those who have recently lost their jobs through no fault of their own by connecting them with state unemployment benefits and additional welfare resources when necessary. Our focus is on ensuring that families in Clifton have the support they need to regain their footing and thrive.
