Get housing and rent assistance in Cumberland County New Jersey

Over $100,000 of federal government stimulus funds has been awarded to the Tri-County Community Action Partnership. The money is being provided from the Prevention of Homelessness program of the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs budget, as supplemented by the government funds.

The money will be used mainly to provide housing and rent assistance. But this is a pretty broad definition, and it includes everything from direct rent payment, security deposit help, and even payments for unpaid utility and heating bills.

Homelessness, and the prevention of it, remains a top priority of Cumberland County and the Tri-County Community Action group. Many families in need will be able to receive assistance from this program and these funds. Call (856) 451-6330
