New Jersey Association On Correction

What New Jersey Association On Correction does

New Jersey Association on Correction (NJAC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1961 and headquartered at 986 S Broad St, Trenton, NJ. With 101-250 employees, the organization operates across seven New Jersey counties (Camden, Mercer, Ocean, Monmouth, Middlesex, Essex, and Passaic) delivering four core service lines: reintegration programs for formerly incarcerated individuals, HIV/AIDS housing and support services, community resource centers for non-residential case management, and housing assistance including permanent and transitional housing for vulnerable populations. NJAC operates the Residential Community Release Programs under contract with the NJ Department of Corrections, including Clinton House (40 beds, the state's first halfway house opened in 1966), James A. Hemm House (60 men), and Millicent Fenwick House (50 women), alongside specialized facilities such as Jennie's Place and Winifred Canright House. The organization is accredited by the American Correctional Association and licensed as a Substance Use Disorder Treatment Program by the NJ Department of Human Services.

NJAC's business model rests on three revenue streams: government contracts (primarily NJDOC for residential community release and CSBG Community Action Agency funding), tax-deductible charitable donations processed through Network for Good and Facebook fundraising, and program-specific grants such as the NJDOC NJLEAD grant funding the Pathway Program. Services are delivered free of charge to clients; all revenue is funding-side rather than transactional. Customer segments include formerly incarcerated individuals reentering communities, domestic violence and sexual assault survivors (via Camden and Passaic county programs), people living with HIV/AIDS, women in recovery with children, and other at-risk families. The organization also engages in criminal justice policy advocacy, notably contributing to New Jersey's 2007 abolition of the death penalty through its subsidiary New Jerseyans for Alternatives to the Death Penalty. NJAC has no proprietary technology platform, no AI/ML capabilities, and operates entirely through human-delivered case management, residential services, and volunteer crisis response teams (DVRT and SART).
