We also offer a robust list of resources and assistance services featured on our website, under the Resources tab – you can find a section dedicated specifically to our rental and housing assistance services on that page, with additional information and applications/forms. Additionally, we have a number of statewide resources and resources listed by county on our Statewide & County Resources tab.

Additionally, there are a number of statewide programs/services for assistance:

• The New Jersey State Parole Board (NJSPB) provides limited temporary emergency housing to homeless offenders on parole.
• County Boards of Social Services provide emergency housing assistance (EA) to homeless individuals who meet the eligibility requirements but there are exclusions for individuals with certain types of criminal convictions including sexual offenses and drug sales and distribution. You can search/visit individual county pages to search for direct contact information for their specific County Board of Social Services.
• There are several reentry initiatives currently funded through the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs (NJDCA) that provide limited housing assistance to individuals released from county jails and those who max out from the NJ prison system.
