Updated May 11, 2021;
Essex County is opening applications for renters and landlords impacted by the pandemic to receive a cut of $15.4 million in federal funding to help pay rent or utilities.
The Essex County Emergency Rental Assistance Program applications will open May 13 and may be accessed online. Applications are open to both renters and landlords, who would be applying on behalf of their tenants.
“Our Emergency Rental Assistance Program will help eligible residents and families catch up on their rent or utility arrears or pay their rent and/or utility bills prospectively,” said Essex County Executive Joseph DiVincenzo. “This ultimately will prevent individuals and families from getting evicted from their housing and becoming homeless.”

Essex is ending controversial contract with ICE to hold immigration detainees in county jail

Essex County officials said Wednesday they will terminate a contract to house detainees for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the county jail, ending a long-standing arrangement that has led to mounting protests in recent years.
“We have had a very solid working relationship with ICE during the last 13 years. It has always been in the best interest of the detainees to remain close to their family, friends, attorneys and community organizations helping them in a facility that was safe and secure,” said Essex County Executive Joseph DiVincenzo in a statement. But he said there was not enough space at the facility on Doremus Avenue in Newark to house both the ICE detainees and the additional inmates from Union.
