Water faucet with drip
New Jersey is still under a Drought Warning, and dry conditions throughout April continue to strain water supplies statewide. Above-average rainfall is needed across the entire state before conditions improve.
With the growing season underway, small changes at home add up. Residents are encouraged to:

Limit lawn watering
Use mulch to slow evaporation
Sweep sidewalks instead of hosing them down
Check for leaks around your home and yard
Use a car wash that recycles water
Install a rain barrel for garden watering
Water supply indicators are updated weekly.

New Jersey's Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) is now open to all eligible families. Income-eligible parents who are working, attending school or participating in job training, may be able to get help paying for child care. To give you a sense of whether you might be eligible to receive assistance through CCAP, the maximum yearly income for a family of three (for example, a parent and two children) is $54,640 (for 2026).

To get started, visit ChildCareNJ.gov to learn about the program, additional eligibility requirements and use the income-eligibility calculator to see if you may qualify. When you’re ready, get connected to the State’s secure application system, MyNJHelps, to apply. Eligibility decisions are made within 30 days of submitting all required documents.

If someone you care about is struggling with addiction or mental health, New Jersey has resources that can help—no matter their insurance or ability to pay.

For immediate mental health crisis support, call or text 988. The national crisis line connects you to trained counselors 24/7.

For addiction treatment and recovery services, call 1-844-REACHNJ (1-844-732-2465). Trained specialists answer 24/7 and connect callers to local treatment providers and supportive services throughout New Jersey. Every call gets a real referral, regardless of insurance or ability to pay.

To find resources, data, and education about substance use in your community, visit the newly redesigned NJ CARES website. It includes county-level data on how addiction is affecting your area, directories of treatment programs, and locations where you can safely dispose of unused medications year-round.

These resources exist because many New Jersey families are navigating these challenges. You're not alone, and help is available.
