The residents will receive training and support to maintain, and where appropriate, further enhance their skills.  Emphasis will be placed in developing skills that will allow them to be self-sufficient. 

"Our goal in New Jersey is to expand community living for people with developmental disabilities," said Marge Della Vecchia,  "so that every resident of the developmental centers who wants to, and is ready to move to a home in the community, will have that opportunity."

Funding for this project was provided by HMFA from the Special Needs Housing Trust Fund, as well as The Department of Human Services, Division of Developmental Disabilities and Our House Foundation.
