Bergen County New Jersey short term and transitional housing.
Housing programs in the greater Bergen County region are extensive. Qualified low income or homeless individuals can use the services provided by emergency shelters. Families using the centers will then normally be placed into a transitional housing program and the next step is a permanent, low income home or apartment in the area.
Throughout this process the client will benefit from case management, job training, employment opportunities, and direct support such as free meals and food. Case managers and volunteers at many of the non-profits will also help people locate permanent housing in Bergen County.
As most residents know, housing costs are expensive in New Jersey. Another component of transitional housing is financial aid. This can be funds to maybe pay moving costs, security deposits, or maybe first months rent on a new home or apartment.
