Ocean County is the only county in the state not to have year round transitional housing for the homeless.
On Episode 4 of Eyes On The Jersey Shore , I spoke with Toms River Councilman Terrance Turnbach and Paul Hulse, the President of Just Believe Inc. , on how we can better serve and help our homeless residents.
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
The Toms River Education Foundation,
a non-profit started up by Toms River Councilman Terrance Turnbach, is donating $10,000 to the Toms River Regional School District to help them purchase team uniforms at each of the three high schools.
A 5K fundraising event hosted by the TREF in late November helped in raising the first round of funding for the school district.
“This Foundation was founded on the principle that extra-curricular school activities are as critical to a student’s educational experience as lessons learned in the classroom, Toms River Education Foundation President Erin Cosentino said in a statement provided to 92.7 WOBM News. Lessons learned outside the classroom promote team building, responsibility, critical thinking and problem solving. This donation is the first of what the Foundation expects to be many donations to insure Toms River Regional School students receive a well-rounded education.”
