Jersey City's Department of Health and Human Services presented a proposed budget of $8.2 million, a significant decrease from its requested $12.59 million. This reduction will impact services, leading to shorter clinic hours and appointment-only licensing. Eight provisional layoffs have already affected the department, the most of any city agency. The department is actively seeking new grants and exploring revenue streams to offset the cuts. These budget adjustments are part of a larger city effort to address a substantial structural deficit.
