The hard-hit Bayshore community will host the Affordable Housing Alliance Assistance Day from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the community’s Borough Hall, 650 Poole Ave., according to organizers.

Representatives will be able to help locals with heating and electric assistance benefits, housing programs, counseling and wellness programs, and social and family development programs. Also available will be referrals to other social services, organizers said.

Among those scheduled to be in attendance are New Jersey Natural Gas, the Bayshore Family Success Center/YMCA, the Mental Health Association and the Monmouth County Long-Term Recovery Group.
