Bridging Communities with Essential Support

The Passaic County Board of Social Services (PCBSS) is dedicated to providing essential economic and social services to the residents of Passaic County. Their programs are designed to assist individuals and families in need, offering a wide range of services such as financial assistance, medical support, child care services, and housing aid. The organization plays a crucial role in administering public assistance programs that are funded by federal and state governments while ensuring that those eligible for benefits have access to the resources necessary to improve their quality of life. PCBSS operates with a strong focus on helping vulnerable populations, such as low-income families, seniors, and individuals with disabilities, to achieve greater economic stability and self-sufficiency.

In addition to financial and social services, PCBSS also provides resources for employment assistance and child support, emphasizing their commitment to empowering residents to lead independent, healthier lives. The website serves as a valuable hub of information, offering easy access to applications, eligibility guidelines, and helpful resources for residents seeking assistance. By fostering collaboration across different levels of government, the Passaic County Board of Social Services ensures a streamlined process for residents to receive the support they need while maintaining transparency and community engagement.
