He's Back!
Alex has returned after three months leave and we are very happy to have him return. The first week or so he will spend half days catching up on things that have happened over the summer.
Alex is excited to dig in to the new challenges presented by our Bridge House scattered site apartment program and organizing program elements that will become the base for our new Bridge House apartment building next year.
Welcome back Alex!
It's that time again...

Van Donated for Bridge House
We were just talking about the problem of needing a new van to help provide transportation to youth in the Bridge House apartment program when the phone call came in from a donor who wanted to donate a van to the agency.
We are now the owners of another Chrysler Town and Country van which is in very good shape that we will immediately be put into service for our new Bridge House program.
Hot Tickets
Thanks to 2 generous donors, a few lucky residents experienced the thrill of attending a Giants and a Jets pre-season game – and of course a first-hand look at the new meadowlands stadium.
Street Outreach Grant Approved
We are very pleased to announce the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has funded our Street Outreach program for three years for a total of $300,000. We are very pleased to have prevailed in this highly competitive national competition.
As always, thank you all for your continued hard work on behalf of our youth.
