New Jersey has many safety-net programs available to assist residents going through a difficult time. These programs provide critical services to individuals and households in need. Unfortunately, despite the importance of these services, many residents are not aware of their existence. Those who try to apply often have difficulty completing the application and understanding program eligibility requirements and responsibilities. The Lakewood Resource & Referral Center (LRRC) is a one-stop help center providing low-income residents of Ocean County with social service information, referrals, counseling, and community education since 2005. Our services include helping clients obtain health insurance, applying for nutritional and utility assistance programs, rental assistance, first-time home buying purchasing counseling, budgeting assistance, and assistance with disability applications. We work closely with organizations and agencies across the state to connect our clients with all available resources to improve the quality of their lives.
