Discover Heat Hub New Jersey

Heat Hub New Jersey is a website that helps people understand how extreme heat affects our lives. It explains how hot weather can impact our health, homes, and communities. The site includes videos and safety tips to help you stay cool and safe during heat waves. It also shows what New Jersey is doing to prepare for hotter temperatures in the future.

Statewide Homeless Hotline

NJ 211 serves as the state homeless hotline, connecting individuals experiencing homelessness with community resources aimed at breaking the cycle of homelessness. The local County Social Service Agency is the primary resource for individuals experiencing homelessness or those seeking emergency housing assistance.

For assistance:

Through the statewide homeless hotline program, NJ 211 arranges one-time emergency placements for eligible individuals and provides referrals and information tailored to their situation.
