Organizations that provide aid and help for expenses. Locate emergency grants.
If you are struggling, two places you can go for help are the Family Promise of Warren County Interfaith Hospitality Network and NORWESCAP. They are both organizations that help people in need by providing services and resources. The following organizations can provide you with more information about careers in the food industry. Contact information is also included.
Rental assistance
If you are struggling to pay your rent or are in danger of being evicted, the Family Promise of Warren County can help. The Warren County Interfaith Hospitality Network offers assistance to families in need, providing them with a place to stay and other resources to help them get back on their feet. Thousands of dollars of assistance and cash grants can be provided to help people with future rental payments. This assistance can help with rent for up to 12 months. The money is to be paid out on a monthly basis. This is so that the organizations can ensure that people are meeting their obligations, as the program is not intended to be long term charity. The monthly payments are due to the uncertainty of available funding and to ensure that residents are following their agreed-upon budgets and paying their fair share of the rent. To get in touch with Family Promise, call 908.453.2194.
New Jersey Universal Service Fund (USF)
The USF assistance program is a state-sponsored program that provides financial assistance to low and moderate income customers with their energy and heating bills.

They will offer free advice, review their financial options, check for eligibility for state, federal government and other programs, (including New Jersey mortgage programs), and help the homeowner develop a budget. The goal of this program is to help families have safe and stable housing, and to prevent or stop any foreclosure filings.
