Was wondering if anyone could tell me how this place is, can you go here with having benefits but not cash assistance? Do u get ur own apartment to live in while there or is it shared housing, is there curfew an can u go out during the day? Is it clean an in a decent neighborhood? Close to transportation or they offer transportation? Do they help u get on ur feet an to transition out to an apartment when it's time to go? So if any1 has any helpful info at all about how the place is an runs inform me an let me kno the positives an negatives an why u feel that way please an thank you.

Questions & Answers

Ok I have 2 kids a boy 12 and a girl 10 how would they work that in the unit provided

They could accommodate you, however as I stated. You would have to go to emergency services at 18 Rector St to be placed there. You can call them Monday and see the proper steps you would have to take. No one is in the office on weekends

What kind of shelter it is? Are you living with a population of homeless?

Melissa Awer | Sep 26, 2019
Siddekgra Williams | Sep 25, 2021

No is a Transitional/Shelter Each family gets there own unit like an apartment with a bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, and livingroom and it comes with furniture each child would get their own bed and there's also a pull out bed in the livingroom couch in the livingroom room but you would have to go go to welfare 18 Rector Street downtown Newark and Apply for Ga _Cash assistance and Emergency Assistance letting them know you are homeless and have no where to go..either bring proof of an enviction(Court documents) or proof you was burned out from you previous location or either have a letter stating you and your 2 kids have this date to leave with no were to go from either your self or someone you lived with but you gotta show them proof of you being homeless and you have to be receiving there cash before emergency assistance so you would still have to apply for that before the emergency assistance kicks in (melissa awer)

You have to get referred here through welfare and only if you have cash assistance I believe. Otherwise you can go to Newark emergency on broad St and have them put you in two different shelters until y'all work it out

Harmony House provides transitional housing for homeless families (one or two parents with children). The facility also requires a referral from Essex County DEFAB (formerly known as Welfare). Below is the link to DEFAB for your reference. You can also call Harmony House for additional information at 973-623-8555. The office is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Here's the link for DEFAB information: https://essexcountynj.org/ceas_directory/division-of-family-assistance-and-benefits-dfab/

So you do pay to live there, it's like a shelter for women, children and families. They don't allow men who aren't married w/ children to live there. You have to go through an application process
