I am a single professional (paralegal-legal assist) female who relocated back to N.J. (family has lived in Summit since 1923) from Chicago (June 07) to rescue my niece and two nephews from foster care. They are scheduled to be adopted by me the end of May. We are currently living in a very small 1 1/2 bedroom apt. 3rd floor in Summit. I found a 3 bedroom apt. today (perfect for us) which will be available July but the rent is too high ($1,800 + utilities) for me to handle right now, the landlord will accept a voucher. I recently lost my job (March 13) as a legal assistant. There is no suitable affordable housing in Summit. Could you help me with any suggestions. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Do you know where/who I can talk to about a unique property we have? Beautiful 2 home property in Jackson, NJ offers two completely renovated homes set on over an acre of private wooded property. The mother daughter property can be ideal for a family with parents that need to be close to home in the Central New Jersey area. http://2homeproperty.realtors.officelive.com/default.aspx
Hi, I’m homeless living in a shelter with my 2 kids. My welfare case worker told me that I “used up all my emergency assistance” meaning she can no longer help me an my kids. She also said I’m on my own, and the only way welfare can help me if I was on drugs or had a mental problem. Why do I have to succumb to that in order to get help. I just want subsidized or affordable housing, even section 8 will help. Im on so many waiting lists that I can’t count how many years I’ve been waiting. Please if anyone can help me, I would deeply appreciate it.
