March 2024 Housing Event Recap
UCC, in partnership with Navicore and the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs, hosted a "Disaster Relief Resource Fair” this week, offering crucial support and services to residents affected by various crises. The event provided a one-stop spot for community members facing hardships, such as natural disasters, economic downturns, or other emergencies.
Resource fairs are essential because they bring together a variety of organizations and agencies under one roof, making it easier for residents to access vital assistance efficiently. In times of crisis, navigating through the maze of available resources can be overwhelming for individuals and families already grappling with the effects of a disaster. By organizing such events, UCC, Navicore and the state DCA demonstrated their commitment to supporting the community by simplifying access to essential services, fostering resilience, and facilitating the recovery process.
