For the past twenty-two years, our non-profit organization has provided housing and essential services to young adults and individuals in recovery from a debilitating mental illness. In 2004, we channelled our experience in residential recovery programs to help our former servicemen and women in dire need, opening the largest transitional housing program in New Jersey for homeless veterans.

Community Hope was started in 1985 by families and mental health professionals seeking a safe haven in the community where young adults could continue their recovery from chronic mental illness. They opened our first therapeutic residence and recruited caring, professional counselors who could assist individuals in making a successful transition back to community and family life after many months, often years, of repeated psychiatric hospitalization.

Today, Community Hope operates 36 residential facilities and is home to more than 270 individuals in recovery. Our programs have enabled hundreds to break the cycle of repeated hospitalizations, even homelessness, and we continue to reach more individuals in need. With programs in development, we will serve more than 300 individuals in 2008.
