Group Opens Central Hub To Help Homeless
By Chris Lundy TOMS RIVER – A new group to help the county’s homeless just opened a new home of their own. The Housing Resource Center will be a centerpiece in providing services for our most at-risk residents. The Toms River Housing and Homeless Coa-
lition began operating out of 200 Corporate Circle, off of Route 37, several months ago, but they had an official ribbon cutting recently. It’s led by Sue Jones, a pastor with Holy Cross Lutheran Church. The goal is to be a nexus connecting different agencies.
“Our goal is to work ourselves out of a job,” she said. They’ll be working with Habcore, Inc., which provides housing and services for homeless in Ocean and Monmouth counties. Case manager Toni Ann Widmaier said that already, the center
has helped 72 people. They ranged in age from 16 to 88. “There is no one size fits all for homeless,” Jones said. The profile is diverse and that’s why it’s a hard problem to fix. “Homelessness is a symptom of something else,” she explained.

That other issue might be domestic violence, or addiction, or a debilitating health emergency. When someone contacts their agency, they establish what their needs are and then reaches out to the resources available.
