Disaster Legal Response Program
This program assists victims of Superstorm Sandy with legal issues stemming from the storm; common issues include insurance matters, contractor disputes, FEMA recoupment, grant appeals, and Blue Acres real estate closings.
This assistance is provided through free informational seminars provided by VLJ and other organizations throughout New Jersey. Please check VLJ’s home page for any upcoming events.
PLEASE SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCE
VLJ, the New Jersey Organizing Project (NJOP), and researchers from Rutgers University School of Management and Labor Relations have developed a survey with the goal of assessing the barriers to recovery that Sandy victims still face. Information collected from this survey is critical to address these issues and fight for solutions. Please help us by sharing your experience. The survey takes less than 10 minutes and no personal information will be shared. To take the survey, please go to: http://newjerseyop.org/sandy-truth-project.html.
