Apartments 1 and 2

Catholic Charities, Diocese of Paterson recognizes the immense need for supportive housing. In February 2000, Straight & Narrow opened a 23-unit independent living apartment facility for low-income individuals with special medical needs. In May of 2003, Straight & Narrow celebrated the opening of a second facility, a new, 50-unit apartment complex for homeless men and women who have special medical needs.

The apartments include one-room efficiencies and two-room units designed to accommodate individuals with disabilities. Each apartment offers a private bathroom, two-burner stove, refrigerator and sink. Live-in staff and security are present 24 hours a day. The Straight & Narrow Apartments offer residents access to on-site counseling and support groups, financial counseling, medical support, recreational activities and linkages to other related services and support systems. Group social and recreational activities are held in the multi-purpose room of each apartment complex. Residents of the Straight & Narrow apartments may also choose to participate in Straight & Narrow’s Medical Day Care program.
