Bucco seeks temporary housing for Dover fire victims

MORRIS COUNTY — Assemblyman Anthony M. Bucco is seeking living arrangements for more than 80 apartment residents who were displaced or made homeless in Monday’s devastating fire in downtown Dover.

“People have been left with nothing but the clothes on their back,” said Bucco (R-Morris).  “When a tragedy this bad strikes we must come together to help our neighbors; and I encourage anyone who can help.”

Bucco called the New Jersey Apartment Association and asked for them to prepare a list of properties with immediate vacancies.

“Not only were they ready to help connect victims with new accommodations, their associated members have offered to waive application fees and offer other discounts to help re-house displaced residents,” said Bucco.

The association’s executive director, David Brogan, said residents searching for new housing in the wake of this incident should visit our www.njaa.com to see the most up-to-date list.

“I applaud the apartment association for their community spirit,” said Assemblyman Michael Patrick Carroll (R-Morris). “This demonstrates precisely how Americans react when tragedy strikes: coming forward to help those in need without even being asked.”

Donations of money, food and clothes are being accepted at the Dover Fire Department and at various other locations in the town.
