NJ State government is providing coordinated assistance directed toward relief efforts in Haiti. These efforts include encouraging donations, providing assistance to the federal government on refugee resettlement, providing medical assistance to incoming repatriates and refugees and offering counseling for members of New Jersey’s Haitian community. This section will be updated as new federal and state resources and assistance are identified.

FEMA ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS

Since this disaster occurred outside of the US, there are no current FEMA programs available to help offset the costs associated with helping relatives who live in Haiti.

STATE ASSISTANCE

The New Jersey Department of Human Services (DHS) Office of Refugee and Immigrant Services is the lead agency for repatriation, refugee services and emergency sheltering with assistance from the New Jersey Office of Emergency Management and the Department of Health and Senior Services.
