YMCA of Newark & Vicinity

About YMCA & Vicinity

The YMCA of Newark & Vicinity has stood as a pillar in the Newark community for over a century. It is a haven where families, individuals, and youth find a home, whether they are displaced, in transition, crisis, or facing challenges affording market rent rates. "The Extended Stay Program offers a lifeline to these individuals, and through collaborations with various organizations, we provide resources like supportive housing, rental assistance, housing for Veterans, support for the underemployed, and crisis services for teens. The YMCA of Newark is a comprehensive service provider with a singular purpose and mission: serving others.”
