Camden County New Jersey rental assistance.
While funding is limited, there may be rental assistance available to tenants in Camden County. Non-profits, churches as well as government affiliated agencies offer low income families a variety of resources. Qualified applicants may be given a grant for paying back rent or get help with moving, including security deposits or storage costs. Other support will help stop evictions in the region.
Any funding is very limited and priority is given to a client with a source of income as they need to maintain the housing on their own in the future. In some cases, a non-profit organization will issue a loan to the applicant for their rental expenses. If someone is not qualified, or if an agency is out of money, then referrals will generally be given to other places to try in Camden.
Camden County Board of Social Services provides rental and housing assistance to residents on TANF or Social Security Supplemental Security Income. Additional support is for victims of domestic violence in the county. The government agency may issue them grants for a security deposit or rent arrears, and other assistance is for applicants that are homeless. Call (856) 225 – 8822.
