General Assistance (WorkFirst NJ)

General Assistance (WorkFirst NJ) in Voorhees, NJ, is dedicated to providing crucial support to individuals and families facing financial hardships. Our program offers Emergency Assistance (EA) to eligible clients, helping them access essential resources such as food, clothing, and shelter, as well as temporary financial aid for housing costs, utility payments, and transportation for housing searches. We understand the pressing needs of our community, and our mission is to offer compassionate emergency financial assistance that can bridge the gap during challenging times. While EA is typically available for up to 12 months, we are committed to working with clients to explore extensions in cases of significant hardship. We also assist individuals who have lost their jobs through no fault of their own in navigating options for state unemployment benefits and additional welfare resources. At General Assistance, we strive to empower our clients by providing them with the support they need to regain stability and thrive.
