Bill overview
This bill requires the New Jersey Department of Human Services (DHS) to create a Haitian Migrant Assistance Program. The program will provide social services and financial assistance to undocumented Haitian migrants who have recently arrived in the state. It aims to support these individuals with housing assistance, cash aid, employment services, legal aid, and community orientation, addressing the challenges faced by Haitian migrants due to instability in Haiti and limited access to traditional support systems.
