Resident Support Services is designed to enhance the lives of East Orange Housing Authority residents through Education, Recreation, and Self Sufficient Guidance. Resident Services is comprised of 2 separate, but equally important components:

1. Outreach in partnership with outside agencies, is designed to assist residents with transportation, referrals for substance abuse treatment, food pantry referrals, as well as continuous education through on-site workshops. Partnering agencies include, but are not limited to:

	E.O. Division of Senior Services
	E.O. Health Department
	Essex County Division of Aging
	Essex County Transportation
	Various Adult Daycare Centers
	Various Medical Transportation Companies
	Various Surgical / Medical Supply Companies

2. Congregate Housing Services is a state program that provides assistance to frail and at risk seniors in subsidized housing. This program is designed to aid seniors and disabled residents in maintaining their independence, rather than be cared for in a long-term care facility. This goal is reached by preventing the deterioration of apartments through housekeeping services as well as the decline in health by providing nutritional meal services, while promoting opportunities for socialization through regular shopping outings.
