NJ Housing Assistance Application Support

Job ID: 39982703

Budget: $250 – $750 USD

A friend has lived with severe psychiatric challenges for more than twenty-one years, and she now needs a safe, stable place to live. I have already opened cases with NJHelps, NJHousing, and the Social Security Administration (her SSI is in progress), yet the process keeps stalling. I’m looking for a social worker—or anyone who has proven, hands-on experience navigating New Jersey’s public-assistance system—to push her housing request across the finish line.

What I specifically need:

• Prepare and complete every housing-related form or online application the state requires.
• Gather medical, financial, and identification documents so nothing holds up approvals.
• Speak directly with caseworkers at NJHelps, NJHousing, and any complementary programs, keeping me informed of every step and deadline.

A background in mental-health advocacy or prior success securing Section 8, SRAP, or comparable New Jersey housing benefits will be a major plus. Compassion, persistence, and clear communication are essential; I want frequent updates so I always know where her file stands.

If you understand the state’s paperwork maze and can act quickly, please let me know your approach and the estimated timeline to get her placed.
