General Assistance (WorkFirst NJ)

General Assistance (WorkFirst NJ) in Princeton, NJ, is dedicated to providing vital Emergency Assistance to those in need. Our committed team helps eligible clients access essential food, clothing, shelter, and household furnishings, along with temporary rental aid, back rent or mortgage payments, and utility support for heat, water, and electric. We understand that navigating financial hardships can be overwhelming, which is why we offer transportation assistance for housing searches and help with moving expenses to ease the transition. While Emergency Assistance typically lasts up to 12 months, we strive to support individual circumstances through possible extensions during times of hardship. If you've been employed for at least 20 weeks but have lost your job, we are here to help you explore options for state unemployment benefits and welfare support when those benefits expire. We are here to offer practical assistance and care for those facing challenges.
