Atlantic County Department of Family and Community Development is an
umbrella organization dedicated to the well being of all citizens of
the county. This department administers the Work First New Jersey welfare

the financial obligations of non-custodial parents. In addition to its
workforce development programs, this department strives to coordinate
its efforts with those of state and city governments, as well as other
social service organizations. It attempts to solve the problems of TANF,
Food Stamp and Medicaid recipients, as well as problems with housing
and emergency assistance.
Three levels of government support Atlantic County’s programs

service system. Laws, regulations, policies are set at the federal, state
and local levels.
