Small businesses may check into whether they are eligible for the Small Business Lease Emergency Assistance Grant that could help toward late rental payment. The Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders in partnership with the NJ Redevelopment Authority has a link to a free webinar that discusses eligibility and how to apply.

The grant awards up to $30,000 for small business rental assistance are on a first-come, first-served basis. The applicant must be in a situation where back rent is owed.
