Property taxes are a major challenge for older residents on a fixed income in NJ. But with the ANCHOR program and the recently expanded Senior Freeze, relief is possible.

In our recent survey, we found only 26% of residents are enrolled in the Senior Freeze - most never heard of it. with income limits going up to $150,000 and the 10-year residency requirement eliminated, it is more imporant than ever to let people know about the Freeze program.

Please join us for a webinar on Sept. 9 to learn the in s and outs of applying for these programs
