Abstract: The goal of Advocates for Children of New Jersey's (ACNJ) Kids Count Project is to provide a snapshot of child well-being to policymakers, advocates, grant-makers, and the public to help inform critical decisions for children and families. Post COVID-19, new data regarding children and families continue to emerge, starting to reveal some noticeable trends. Some of these trends include an increase in the unemployment rate for many counties, and for the state as a whole; an 8% decrease statewide in the number of children receiving NJ FamilyCare between 2023 and 2024; and an increase of 13% in state-funded preschool enrollment for 2023-24 compared to two years ago. Though it will be a long time before we can determine the true effects the pandemic has had on the physical and mental health, educational opportunities, and overall stability of children, youth, and families, the New Jersey Pocket Guide 2025 serves as a great source to help understand the data trends that have come to light as a result thus far.
