Project SHIFT Inc. (SHIFT stands for Sharing Helpful Information For Transition). We provide social service intervention for individuals who need assistance with applying for any program that would aid their current social, medical, and/ or economic circumstances.

Generally for individuals who require resources, information and guides we are “Sharing Helpful Information for Transition.” Our services cater to individuals who require assistance with completing applications for Medicaid/Medicare/Social Security/Veterans benefits/Welfare/Utility assistance/housing and any other such like benefits and/or accommodation. A Service Request Form must be completed prior to any service rendered. A Service Request Form can be completed online on this site or over the phone by calling (856) 318-1856

SHIFT is primarily designed to patron to the individual or agencies who have individuals who require assistance due to either a physical or mental impairment and would require some advocacy from a third party with consent of that individual. SHIFT will not discriminate and will offer assistance to anyone who may request it despite their circumstance, age, race or cultural background.
