Lakewood Resource and Referral Center

Profile

The lakewood resource & referral center's (lrrc) mission is to provide comprehensive, accurate and empathetic social services, information, referral, assistance, and advocacy, for government entitlement and private sector programs. Established in march 2005, the lrrc was created to help new jersey residents access, navigate, and understand the complex and often confusing government entitlement offices, information sources and applications. The lrrc assists residents in addressing the barriers they face as they attempt to navigate the social service and health care systems. We serve as a "one-stop" social services community agency by providing information about the many medical assistance and social service programs available to low-income residents, explaining guidelines and screening residents for eligibility, assisting residents with the application process, and providing advocacy and intervention services to assist lakewood residents in resolving problems with benefits and services.
