This bill mandates the establishment of a Haitian Migrant Assistance Program by the Department of Human Services (DHS) to provide social services and financial assistance specifically to undocumented Haitian migrants who have arrived in New Jersey at least two years prior to the bill's effective date. The bill defines an undocumented Haitian migrant as a person of Haitian descent residing in the U.S. without legal immigration status, including those who entered without proper permission and may be subject to removal. The program aims to address the needs of these migrants by offering a range of services, including assistance with housing applications, cash assistance, employment-related case management, legal referrals, and community orientation programs.

The services outlined in the bill are comprehensive and include educational support, language translation, and civic instruction to help migrants integrate into their new communities. Additionally, the DHS is authorized to collaborate with community-based, faith-based, and non-profit organizations to deliver these services effectively. The bill highlights the dire circumstances faced by Haitian migrants due to ongoing political instability, economic hardship, and natural disasters in Haiti, emphasizing the necessity of such an assistance program to support their transition and well-being in New Jersey.
