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 for which they may be eligible. The program will provide information on various services, including housing, healthcare, educational opportunities, job training, and legal services, and will involve collaboration with local governments, nonprofit organizations, and community groups to enhance access to these resources.

Additionally, the Department of Human Services will implement an outreach campaign to inform migrants and refugees about the program, utilizing multiple languages and media platforms to ensure broad dissemination of information. 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, particularly those from regions experiencing political and humanitarian crises.
