The Native American Advancement Corp (NAAC) was a proud sponsor of the 51st Annual Environmental Congress hosted by the Association of New Jersey Environmental Commissions (ANJEC) on September 27th. This in-person educational conference brought together environmental leaders, municipal officials, and citizens across the state to explore conservation issues through interactive workshops and inspirational discussions.
 
Workshop topics included Mastering Municipal Ordinances, Stormwater Management (MS4), Waste Reduction, Renewable Energy, Water Quality Protection, Zoning Reviews, Invasive Species Control, and more. Participants gained valuable insights into tackling New Jersey's pressing environmental challenges. The conference highlighted how local actions can impact globally, empowering attendees to implement sustainable practices in their communities.
 
Featured speakers included NJDEP Commissioner Shawn LaTourette and NJ State Climatologist David Robinson, who addressed how New Jersey is preparing to weather the impacts of climate change through innovative policies and actions. Their perspectives offered a deep dive into the state's climate resilience efforts, from urban greenways to water quality protection, sparking lively discussions on the future of environmental stewardship in the state.
 
As part of NAAC's sponsorship, we proudly contributed to ANJEC's Silent Auction, offering a unique experience at the Cohanzick Nature Reserve. The "Awaken Your Senses" package invites auction winners to immerse themselves in the sacred landscape with guided tours that connect participants to the rich cultural heritage of the Cohanzick Lenape people while exploring the reserve's natural beauty.

​The Native American Advancement Corp (NAAC) offers vital support to low-income households through our energy assistance programs, including the Low to moderate Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), Home Energy Assistance (HEA), and the Universal Service Fund (USF). These programs are designed to help families struggling to afford their energy bills, ensuring they can maintain access to heating, cooling, and electricity throughout the year.

NAAC's energy assistance programs provide financial relief to eligible households, particularly during the winter heating and summer cooling seasons when energy costs are at their highest. These programs cover a portion of utility bills and help families avoid service interruptions, manage rising energy costs, and keep their homes safe and livable.

Our team works closely with applicants to determine eligibility and guide them through the application process, ensuring they receive the maximum benefit. We serve families across New Jersey, focusing on those most in need, including seniors, individuals with disabilities, and households with young children.

LIHEAP and HEA offer financial assistance for heating and cooling costs. At the same time, USF helps reduce the monthly energy burden for low-income households by providing ongoing discounts on electric and gas bills. Together, these programs offer essential relief, allowing families to focus on other critical needs without worrying about energy costs.

Keep the Lights On and the Heat Flowing  
With your support, NAAC can continue to help more families in need, ensuring that no one has to choose between warmth and other necessities. Through our energy assistance programs, we're making a meaningful difference in the lives of vulnerable communities across New Jersey.
