The New Jersey Migrant and Refugee Assistance Act aims to support the integration of migrants and refugees into New Jersey society by establishing a Migrant and Refugee Resource Coordination Program within the Department of Human Services. This program is designed to connect migrants and refugees with essential information and resources regarding public assistance programs, including housing, healthcare, educational opportunities, job training, and legal services. The Department will collaborate with local governments, nonprofit organizations, and community groups to facilitate access to these resources, ensuring that the needs of individuals from diverse backgrounds are met.

Additionally, the Department will implement an outreach campaign to inform migrants and refugees about the available resources, utilizing multiple languages and media platforms for effective communication. An annual report will be submitted to the Governor and the Legislature detailing the program's effectiveness, including the number of individuals served and types of assistance provided, along with recommendations for improvements. This initiative reflects New Jersey's commitment to supporting its diverse population and enhancing the social and economic fabric of the state.
