Can a "thing" be in need of something?
Is it possible to say: "my application is still in need of some referencies". I was wondering if this use of "to be in need of", would be correct even thought the subject of this sentence is a thing (not a living subject).

Yes, that could be correct. But you should adjust the spelling of "referencies' to "references".
