Kommunity Kares

KOMMUNITY KARES IS A TRANSITIONAL REENTRY HOUSING PROGRAM. OUR ORGANIZATION SPECIALIZES IN WORKING WITH THE NJ STATE PAROLE BOARD AND VARIOUS COMMUNITY RESOURCE CENTERS TO HELP REDUCE RECIDIVISM RATES IN THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY. OUR PRIMARY ROLE AND COMMITMENT TO THIS GOAL IS TO PROVIDE HOUSING AND HAVE BEDS THAT ARE READILY AVAILABLE TO THOSE PEOPLE RETURNING HOME, ON PAROLE, AND IN NEED OF AN IMMEDIATE HOUSING PLACEMENT. AT THIS TIME, THE SOLE SERVICE PROVIDED BY KOMMUNITY KARES IS TRANSITIONAL HOUSING, WHICH ACCOUNTS FOR THE BULK OF EXPENSES. MANY OF THESE EXPENSES INCLUDE: LINENS FOR EACH NEW CLIENT, REPAIRS FOR WEAR AND TEAR ON THE PROPERTIES, LAWN CARE AND MAINTENANCE, HOME SUPPLIES, REPLACEMENT OF ANY LOST/DAMAGED/STOLEN GOODS OR PROPERTY, RENT/MORTGAGE ON THE PROPERTIES, UTILITIES, REGULAR HOUSE MAINTENANCE TO KEEP UP WITH QUALITY, EXPECTATIONS, RULES AND REGULATIONS IMPOSED BY KOMMUNITY KARES, AND COMMUNITY/STATE PARTNERS. SINCE THE OPENING OF OUR 36TH STREET LOCATION, 24 PEOPLE HAVE BENEFITED FROM OUR TRANSITIONAL REENTRY HOUSING PROGRAM.
