Grantee Spotlight: The Center in Asbury Park
The Mission of The Center in Asbury Park is to connect at risk community members to comprehensive healthcare, safe and supportive housing, and wellness through education, collaboration, and advocacy.
Since 1992, The Center has been a volunteer-based not-for-profit organization, providing support services for people living with HIV/AIDS. Today, The Center follows a housing-first model to connect at-risk, status-neutral community members to comprehensive healthcare, safe and supportive housing, and wellness. It believes that if people have safe housing, they can deal with issues of substance use, mental health, and employment. It envisions being the “center” of hope where everyone is treated with dignity and empowered to live longer, healthier, and happier lives.
