Program Info
The purpose of the program is to provide Independent Living by assisting homeless youth and youth leaving the child welfare system, foster care or homeless shelters to make a successful transition to self-sufficient living and to prevent long-term dependency on social services by providing permanent housing, life skills, and support services which meet their developmental needs. Recognizing that the target population needs help in all spheres of their lives, the program comprehensively addresses barriers confronting this population in the key life domains of housing, education, viable employment, and medical and emotional well-being.

Moving Upward to Move You Forward
Throughout the past decade, Robins’ Nest, Cape Counseling Services, and NewPoint Behavioral Health Care developed strong reputations for providing top quality mental health care and family services to communities throughout New Jersey. With capable, compassionate teams and a pioneering vision driving each organization’s mission, southern New Jersey residents have had many great options to turn to for mental health care, family therapy, community support, or a simple helping hand.
While we have always been strong in our own right, our teams realized that collectively, we could make a world of difference in our communities and lead the way in providing integrated care services for individuals from birth throughout all stages of adulthood.
This idea of collaboration and togetherness has lifted us into a new era: Acenda. Acenda represents growth, success, and a commitment to lifting up the lives and spirits of those in our communities. By bringing together our bright teams, innovative services, and understanding, caring hearts, we as an organization are moving upward to move lives forward. As we join together to provide a wide range of mental health, crisis services, parenting support, family-focused therapy, and residential programming, as well as reproductive health services through our affiliate, FamCare, we are celebrating this new era and are optimistic about our future and the legacy we will create as the premier integrated health provider in southern New Jersey.
