Division of Community Relations & Social Services

The Division of Community Relations & Social Services leads the Partnership for a HealthierJC, an initiative dedicated to fostering collaboration between public and private sectors to enhance health outcomes in Jersey City. Through the HealthierJC partnership, we strengthen connections within local communities by offering free marketing support, grant opportunities, and a platform to spotlight essential services and programs.

With a network of over 500 partner organizations, we promote health programs and events while advocating for effective communication, robust community engagement, and equitable access to care. Our collaboration with FindHelp provides residents with an extensive database of thousands of programs, including food pantries, housing support, and financial assistance, making free and reduced-cost services more accessible.

The Division also works closely with other Health and Human Services divisions to deliver timely, targeted outreach via social media and the FIndHelp platform, ensuring residents are connected to vital resources and services when they need them most.
