Opportunities for Hoboken Residents with Special Needs
The City of Hoboken’s Office of Constituent Affairs is partnering with the Hudson County Dept. of Health & Human Services, Office of Disability Services to create new opportunities for adult residents with special needs/developmental disabilities. Potential programming could include: workforce development/ job trainings, creative-arts therapies, independence and life skills, social opportunities, and employment fairs.
Please note that these efforts are focused on serving adults & young adults with special needs who are in the process of transitioning out of the school system or have already done so.
If you are over 18 years old and a Hoboken resident with special needs, we would love for you to join this planning process. Family members and loved ones of Hoboken residents with special needs are also strongly encouraged to reach out. Please contact Caroline Caulfield, Chief of Constituent Affairs. Caroline can be reached at 201-420-2000 ext. 1311 or via email at [email protected].
PSE&G’s Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP)
PSE&G’s Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) opened for intake on October 1, 2019. LIHEAP can help residents at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level. For example, a household of four with a monthly income of $4,292 or below may qualify and should apply. LIHEAP recipients may receive help to pay winter heating bills (even if heat is included in the rent), medically necessary cooling costs, weatherization, emergency heating or water heater repairs, and LIHEAP emergency assistance at the end of the heating season. LIHEAP information and applications are available at all of PSE&G’s walk-in customer service centers or online at pseg.com/help or pseg.com/ayuda (Spanish).
Please click here for program information. For additional help or more information on where to apply, families in need can also call “211” which is available 24/7 and provides resource information beyond energy assistance.
