General Assistance (WorkFirst NJ)

General Assistance (WorkFirst NJ) in Willingboro, NJ is dedicated to providing vital Emergency Assistance (EA) to eligible individuals facing urgent financial hardships. Our mission focuses on delivering essential food, clothing, shelter, and household furnishings to those in need. We also offer temporary rental assistance, back rent or mortgage payments, and utility payments—ensuring that families can maintain their homes and basic necessities. In addition, we support transportation for housing searches and provide aid for moving expenses. While our Emergency Assistance is typically granted for up to 12 months, we understand that life can present unexpected challenges, and extensions are available for those who qualify under specific hardship conditions. If you have been employed recently and are experiencing job loss through no fault of your own, you may qualify for state unemployment benefits, with welfare options available after those benefits expire. We strive to empower individuals and families by offering practical support in times of crisis, ensuring that no one has to face difficult times alone.
