This Resource Directory
is a product of Safe Start, a project of the Violence Institute of New
Jersey at UMDNJ. Safe Start is funded by the Federal Department of Justice,
Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention in order to create
a multi-agency integrated response to address the needs of families and
children who have been exposed to violence. Safe Start works in collaboration
with over 40 agencies to establish linkages and decrease barriers to services
so that the needs of families can be addressed in a comprehensive fashion.
Safe Start, with the
guidance of its planning board, has prepared this Resource Directory as
part of our mission to improve access to community resources for the people
of Newark. Newark is rich in a wide array of community services and dedicated
individuals whose goal it is to support and nurture the well being of
its residents. In order for the existence of such services to translate
into the betterment of lives, people need to be able to locate and connect
with these services. With this goal in mind, Safe Start has compiled what
we believe is a comprehensive and easy-to-use directory of community resources
in Newark, focusing on agencies serving residents of the Newark’s West
Police District.
