👉 The NJ Eviction Guide
This step-by-step, mobile-friendly guide helps tenants understand where they are in the eviction process and connect directly with free legal help in their county.
What it offers:
• Personalized guidance based on tenant responses
• A clear explanation of each stage in the eviction process
• Access to free, high-quality legal services for eligible low-income tenants
• Private and secure interaction (no data is stored on government servers)
Why it matters:

Evictions are stressful, confusing, and fast-moving. This guide gives tenants immediate clarity and connects them with the support they need to avoid displacement and homelessness.
📣 Please help us spread the word:
• Share this tool with your networks, clients, and colleagues
• Include it on your website or resource hub
• Distribute it through your email lists, text alerts, or intake processes
