I've been there a few times since authorized to speak and handle affairs for a loved one. Surprisingly, they are quite friendly and efficient for a government agency. No long wait times either. I'm impressed.

I am a disabled man I have been discriminated by housing assistance because I am disabled. The requirements change on a whim. The social workers sent a shrink and cops to my primary doctors office and illegally detained me because I was sad. Been waiting two weeks for a new social worker, spoke with supervisors, they say that social worker doesn't work here anymore so we don't have access to her notes on why I was held prisoner by Berkeley police at my doctors office. Eventhough the y broke all recommendations from the Attorney generals office on handling a person with a "mental crisis" and discriminating against me because I am disabled. It has been a year since I became homeless. Just think about going through June July and August without a shower.

Staff should remember if not for the clients they would not have a job instead of treating clients like somethingbthey would scrape off their shoes.

where do I send a person age 30 . she will be thrown out from where shes staying. she works but cant afford an apt. livves in toms river thank you \

Housing Authority usually has a waiting list of over a year for Section 8/HUD low cost housing. The social services office will be able to set her up with everything she needs. They can even give her a referral to a local food bank to hold here over until SNAP is available. She might be able to get something more affordable if she looks for people renting out rooms. There's a lot of people doing that to make extra money. Being a housemate can be odd and trying at times but it beats being homeless.

I need to apply for medicaid for my mother she is in a nursing home and needs long term care. what documents do i need to bring and how do i apply for her

You can actually do it right online. I have myself and its a fairly quick process too. You fill out the online form and a worker will get back to you fairly quick and they will answer all of your questions and let you know what you may need and guide you the right way.

My question is why do I have to continue to wait to see if Im eligible if all the documents was given to her at the beginning.

Best time of day to come there

FRANKIE BROWN | Sep 28, 2018
James G | Sep 28, 2018

Be inside at 8am and don't expect to see anyone before 8:30am (9:00am Friday). Also, don't be upset if you don't see anyone before 10:00am. Its different for everyone but there is a first come first served waiting list. Aso know what building and branch of social services you need to be at ASAP. This way you wont waist your day at the wrong office.
