Requires DHS to establish Haitian Migrant Assistance Program.
This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Human Services to create a Haitian Migrant Assistance Program for undocumented Haitian migrants who have lived in the state for at least two years. The program would provide financial aid, help with housing and public benefits applications, employment support including language training, legal referrals, and community orientation services. It specifically targets individuals of Haitian descent without legal immigration status and aims to offer practical assistance with settlement and integration. The legislation defines eligible recipients and outlines seven categories of support including cash assistance, vocational training, and information about local services and civic processes.
