Announcement 3/15/24: Arm In Arm has received funding from the NJ Department of Community Affairs as part of their Homelessness Prevention Program and will provide up to three months of financial assistance to pay past due rent or mortgage payments for households in imminent danger of eviction or foreclosure due to temporary financial problems beyond their control such as medical disability or emergency, loss or delay in receipt of benefits, natural or man-made disaster, and/or substantial change in household composition.
The emergency financial aid we provide helps hundreds of families and individuals remain in place, preventing the negative effects of dislocation, separation, and disruption of school and work. In 2018, we helped 604 families and individuals stabilize their housing situations.
The eviction moratorium is over, therefore tenant/landlord court has resumed and evictions are now being processed. If you are in need of assistance, please reach out to us at 609-396-9355 ext.11. Evictions Are No Longer Suspended
