Somerset Home for Temporarily Displaced Children

Somerset Home for Temporarily Displaced Children (somersethome.org) provides abused, neglected, homeless, and runaway youth with housing, a stable environment, and supportive services that guide them in becoming self-sufficient. Since 1970, over 7,000 runaway, homeless, abused or neglected youth have come to seek shelter, food, clothing, and support services. The agency provides seven programs for adolescents and their families: Brahma House crisis intervention center; Passages, My Place and Whitney House transitional-living programs; Pathways independent-living skills program; Street Smart street outreach; and Bridge House supportive-housing for homeless young adults. Somerset Home’s residential programs and one of our Street Smart street outreach offices are located in Bridgewater, New Jersey. Satellite offices in East Orange, Hackensack and Morristown provide street outreach services to six northern and central New Jersey counties (Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Middlesex, Morris, and Union).
