Integrity House celebrated the opening of a Women’s Outpatient Facility at 659 Martin Luther King Blvd. with Newark Mayor Cory Booker. The facility will serve over 100 women each year and has become the hub for women’s services.
The Integrity Initiative for Women and Children involves a five year fund drive to expand substance abuse treatment and wrap-around services for women. The goal of the initiative is to address each woman’s unique needs through a program of family stabilization, substance abuse and mental health treatment, long-term transitional housing and individualized wrap-around services. As each woman works through the recovery process, she builds her strength and independence. Supporting preservation of the family is at the center of this process. When completed, this funding will bring long-term comprehensive treatment, family support, housing, education and job development to over 300 women and their children annually. That will double Integrity Houses’ current capacity to meet the needs of this significantly underserved population.
667 Martin Luther King Blvd in Newark will open in September 2010 as a Women’s Transitional Housing Facility.
Our Women’s Treatment campus on Martin Luther King Boulevard in Newark consists of three buildings fully dedicated to women’s treatment and recovery support. Comprehensive substance abuse treatment combines with safe, affordable housing and range of other services. The initiative will provide each woman with access to the unique support she needs to rebuild her life for the long term.
In June 2009, Integrity House celebrated the opening of the Women’s Outpatient Treatment Building (Phase 1) at 659 Martin Luther King Boulevard in Newark. After one million dollars in renovations, the facility is now able to serve 100 women annually and has become the hub for Integrity House’s treatment and supportive services for women.
The opening of 667 Martin Luther King Boulevard, following its $3.5 million renovation, is the next goal for the Initiative. At any given time, this facility will be a safe home for 22 women and 24 children. The building is expected to open in September 2010.
