Gov. Sherrill\u2019s post-storm visit<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Gov. Sherrill visited Camden <\/b>a day after what local officials call the worst flooding they have ever seen in the city. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

American Red Cross workers have been providing cleaning supplies, snacks, and water as residents navigate the aftermath. No injuries had been reported, but there were more than 1,000 calls to emergency services, and 14 people were rescued from the flooded streets.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Sherrill urged residents to report damage through the Office of Emergency Management so the state knows how much federal assistance to request. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

She also thanked the first responders and touted her recently signed legislation aimed at data centers, which she said would help prevent strain on the power grid during future storms. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

The Inquirer\u2019s Aliya Schneider has more details about her visit and legislation.<\/p>\n

Experts say state poverty is higher than official federal figures<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

According to the federal government, 859,000 New Jersey residents are living in poverty, based on the latest statistics available. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

But a new report from Poverty Research Institute of Legal Services of New Jersey (PRI), a legal aid nonprofit, says the figure is closer to three million. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

People who live at or below the federal poverty line qualify for assistance such as SNAP, Medicaid, and school meals. The issue, according to experts, is that even people with incomes twice the poverty rate still need help when considering the actual costs of housing, childcare, food, and healthcare. It doesn\u2019t help that New Jersey has the third-highest cost of living among states. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cLife\u2019s a struggle,\u201d said one Camden <\/b>resident whose family makes just enough to be above the federal level. \u201cI would say this feels below the poverty line.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The number of meals that the Food Bank of South Jersey has distributed to Burlington, Camden, Gloucester, and Salem Counties has increased by more than a third over the last four years to compensate for rising food costs. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

According to PRI, the following are the true poverty rates:<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
    \n
  1. \n

    Burlington County:27.2% <\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Camden County: 38% <\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    Gloucester County:<\/i> 29% <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n
