The New Jersey Department of Community Affairs (DCA) has announced the launch of the DCA Programs Book, a new tool detailing various resources and program opportunities available through the department, contingent on funding availability. The DCA provides an array of programs and services addressing public concerns in New Jersey. The Programs Book aims to help residents, local governments, and private partners access program and staffing information efficiently. It is now accessible on the DCA website at https://www.nj.gov/dca.
"At DCA, we are problem-solvers and are always looking for creative solutions. That is why we developed the DCA Programs Book in a digital format to put information at your fingertips," said DCA Commissioner Jacquelyn A. Suárez. "DCA is made up of seven divisions and five affiliate agencies each overseeing different subject areas from fire and building safety to housing to disaster recovery and local government services just to name a few. This tool will categorize the DCA divisions and make accessing the resources and technical support that individuals may be looking for much easier. This reference tool depicts the many ways that DCA delivers administrative guidance, financial support, and technical assistance to local governments, community development organizations, businesses, and individuals to improve the quality of life in New Jersey."
The DCA Programs Book is designed for ease of use while providing detailed program content, phone numbers, web addresses, and links so readers can utilize all services offered by the DCA. Each division is categorized by bureau, office, or program.
DCA offers numerous programs and services including local government management and finance, affordable housing production, fire safety, building safety, community planning and development, disaster recovery and mitigation, historic preservation, and information privacy.
