Ocean County is the only county in the state not to have year round transitional housing for the homeless.

Ocean County is the only county that doesn t have a transitional housing center/shelter, Paul Hulse, President of Just Believe Inc. tells Townsquare Media News.
We have to do better, and that s at a county level, and I believe we ve started that process so I m not condemning them (the Commissioners) as much as I m saying we ve got to move forward with the transitional housing center year round with the proper services. You have to have the public educated too, it s not a shelter where people just go to be and be forever, that s not part of the plan, Toms River Councilman Terrance Turnbach tells Townsquare Media
