Family Resource Center The NCC Family Resource Center takes a holistic approach to services by linking those who seek assistance with resources and information that will empower them to improve the quality of their lives.
“I love the center. My oldest son has been here in Harmony House since he was four months old and he graduated two years ago,” said Janice Williams, a parent from the community who utilizes the center. “I still have two of my sons here. The teachers are doing a great job. They treat my children as their own children.”

New Community's Brochure
New Community's first real estate development project opened in 1975. It was followed by a series of family and senior residences that were built and opened throughout the 1980s and 1990s. In 1985, NCC completed the renovation of its current headquarters, St. Joseph Plaza located on West Market Street. This became one of NCC’s first economic development projects, converting the formerly shuttered church into a 24,000 square foot complex that included office & conference space, a restaurant, and jazz club. An extended care facility opened in 1986 and a transitional facility for homeless families, called Harmony House, was completed in 1989. The New Community Neighborhood Shopping Center, including a Pathmark supermarket, opened its doors in 1990.
The NCC Neighborhood Shopping Center has been an asset to consumers in the Central Ward for almost twenty years. Prior to this development, there had not been a major supermarket in the City of Newark for more than 30 years. An NCC-owned Dunkin' Donuts, is also located at the Bergen Street shopping center. All earnings from the NCC franchise are reinvested in the community through NCC's programs and projects.
The pace and scope of NCC's undertakings mushroomed during the 1990s to include a rapidly expanding presence in health care, Hispanic development and immigration services, a state-of-the-art workforce development & job training facility, one of New Jersey's largest welfare-to-work programs and community-based charter schools.
Over the course of four decades, New Community had become the nation's largest, most comprehensive and accomplished provider of community-based programs and services. Today, it stands as the nation's most compelling model of "critical scale" community-based development.
The $25 million Community Hills development of two- and three-bedroom town homes, for instance, provides home ownership opportunities on the site of the former Hayes Homes public housing project, adjacent to the flashpoint of the 1967 disorders.
In 2009, New Community’s latest housing development, Roseville Commons, will provide 50 units of low and moderate income housing in the West Ward of Newark through a partnership with RPM Development Corp., one of New Jersey’s leading private developers of affordable housing. Ground breaking is scheduled on the mixed-used project to include retail space.
Guided by its mission "to help residents of inner cities improve the quality of their lives to reflect individual, God-given dignity and personal achievement,” New Community has also moved into education, early childhood learning and the expansion of community-based health care, with the opening of a major health care complex in 2004.
In addition to its 180-bed Extended Care Facility, New Community is also offering home care through its Essex Valley Visiting Nurse Association. Wellness Clinics staffed by a nurse practitioner were also established in two of New Community’s senior residences in early 2009.
New Community is also opening a 30-bed sub-acute unit within its Extended Care Center in 2009, catering to patients who require shorter stays than the typical nursing home offers.
In its commitment to providing comprehensive and holistic services, NCC is leading the way for the next generation of community-based development.
