Requires DHS to establish Haitian Migrant Assistance Program.
S 2694 requires New Jersey's Department of Human Services to establish a Haitian Migrant Assistance Program for undocumented Haitian migrants who have resided in the state for at least two years. The program will provide time-limited cash assistance, job training (including English and literacy instruction), legal referrals to Haitian-focused organizations, Haitian Creole language translation services, and community orientation on local resources and civic systems. It allows the state to partner with community, faith-based, and nonprofit organizations to deliver these services. The bill directly affects undocumented Haitian migrants facing barriers to housing, employment, and social services due to their immigration status.
