In Newark, CHNJ’s residential crisis center welcomes young people 24 hours a day, seven days a week, no questions asked. We provide them a safe haven where they can live while they resolve the issues that have blocked their way, work on a plan to transition to a stable living environment and advance their life goals.
Young people in Newark can access CHNJ’s short-term emergency care through our street outreach, drop-in center, and residential crisis center, where we provide a holistic spectrum of coordinated services. Our transitional housing program, Rights of Passage, and supportive apartment-living program bridge the gap for young people as they work, save money, and learn to live on their own.
