DCA To Hold Sandy Information Session In Toms River On Aug. 15

It may be almost five years since Superstorm Sandy slammed into Ocean County, but many residents are still stuck in the rebuilding process and many are still not home.

Need some one-on-one attention? The state Department of Community Affairs will be on hand from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Aug. 15 at the Toms River Municipal Building at 33 Washington Street.

The sessions are open to eligible RREM Program, LMI Program and LRRP participants. No appointment is necessary. Information Sessions are designed to provide one-on-one attention to address participants’ questions that arise during all stages in their RREM, LMI Program or LRRP processes.

Participants can use the Information Session to:

• Get an update of their application;
• Submit necessary forms to expedite the rebuilding process;
• Address challenges they may be facing in their individual rebuilding process;
• Determine new action items; and
• Educate themselves about best practices and key information as they move through the process.

For more information on the Housing Recovery Information Session, applicants may contact the DCA’s Sandy Constituent Services Office by calling 609-292-3750 or by emailingsandy.recovery@dca.nj.gov.
