Our Programs in Northern New Jersey

The Volunteers of America Youth & Family Services Program has a strong working relationship with the State of New Jersey to provide residential, counseling and case management services to various populations of individuals with special needs. For our provision of services to youth, we currently hold contracts with the Department of Children and Families (DCF) through the Division of Child Protection and Permanency (DCP&P) and the Division of Child System of Care (CSOC). The program is comprised of ten (10) residential facilities in Northern New Jersey including a shelter, group homes, treatment homes, independent living and supportive housing. We also have three in-home programs that provide counseling and/or parenting education.

Supervised community residences and supportive housing are available throughout Passaic, Union and Middlesex counties of New Jersey. Services include symptom and illness management, social skills training, vocational skills development, education and employment support, crisis management, health and wellness education and support. Staff identifies service strategies that incorporate each individual’s strengths, abilities, needs and preference into the service design. Accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF).
