Building a Better North Brunswick — Together.

FOOD ASSISTANCE

Food assistance
resources

Affordable housing, repairs, energy savings, and benefit programs for both renters and homeowners in North Brunswick.

Housing is one of the largest expenses facing individuals and families. Whether a resident rents, owns a home, needs repairs, or is looking for affordable housing options, finding the right assistance program can make a significant financial difference.

Assistance is available for working families, seniors, individuals with disabilities, children, renters and homeowners, and residents experiencing temporary financial hardship. Many residents do not realize they may qualify even if they are working or have never applied before.
