What We Do
Our mission is to be a beacon of hope in our community, connecting individuals and families with life-changing support, services, and housing that foster the independence and resiliency to live their best lives.
Mental Health Programs
Our mental health recovery programs fill a tremendous void. Since opening our first residence for young adults in 1985, we have successfully developed a full continuum of residential recovery programs for individuals struggling with such forms of mental illness as bipolar disorder, severe depression and schizophrenia: Illnesses which have disrupted their lives and their families’ lives and left them at greater risk for repeated hospitalization and for many, the risk of homelessness. Aiding them on the path to recovery, our counselors help individuals learn to manage their illness, become more self-sufficient, and find renewed hope.
Veterans Programs
Community Hope is the leading nonprofit serving homeless veterans and families in New Jersey. We address a major underlying source of veterans’ homelessness: High rates of mental illness, trauma and substance abuse and the challenges are increasing. Roughly half the soldiers who served in Iraq and Afghanistan have been diagnosed with mental health conditions, including one in five that suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder.
