Residents and advocates go on record as needing more help from state
State lawmakers heard repeated calls to increase aid for those hit hardest by the coronavirus pandemic during the first public hearing Wednesday on Gov. Phil Murphy’s plan to expand the state budget to nearly $45 billion.
Residents and issue advocates who testified using a virtual format due to the lingering health crisis asked for more funding for programs that assist low-income residents, including those who’ve suffered job losses or have been unable to find affordable housing.
They also sought more state aid for those dealing with mental health issues and addiction problems, and for seniors, veterans and those with disabilities who’ve struggled with isolation during COVID-19 lockdowns.

RIDGEWOOD, NJ A $1 million state grant will help the HealthBarn Foundation support restaurants in Ridgewood s Central Business District, and deliver 100,000 meals to county residents struggling with food insecurity.
The grant was awarded through the New Jersey Economic Development Authority s Sustain and Serve program, which delivered $14 million in grant funding to 27 recipients across the state.
That money was distributed to nonprofits like HealthBarn, which utilize local restaurants to distribute meals to community members facing food insecurity. That s evermore important since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, when county residents relied on donated meals at numbers hardly seen before.
