The Arc of Hudson County 
 

The Arc of Hudson County is affiliated to The Arc of New Jersey and it has been an independent chapter since July of 2007. The Arc of Hudson County was open in 1997 as the Hudson County Resource Center to address the needs of the severely underserved population of children and adults with developmental disabilities in Hudson County. Since that time, we have helped hundreds of individuals and families connect to vital services and get the support they need.

 

The Arc of New Jersey is the largest nonprofit advocacy organization for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families in New Jersey.  Started in 1947 by a parent of a child with intellectual disabilities, we are today still a parent directed membership organization. More than 6,000 families make up the current membership of The Arc of New Jersey.  We are affiliated with The Arc, a national organization on intellectual and developmental disabilities with more than 1100 chapters and 105,000 members nationwide.  The Arc of New Jersey is comprised of a state office and 20 local county chapters providing services in 21 counties.

 

We have assisted more than 1000 families through our programs and services such as Employment Day Program, Family Support Voucher Program, Information and Referral, Recreational Activities, Family Support Group Meetings, After School Program, and our recently Adult Evening Care Program.

 

We continue to raise awareness about our services through our partnership with local school districts, churches, businesses, community health fairs, the media, coalitions and fundraising events.

 

Our mission is to improve the quality of life of persons with intellectual and developmental disabiliteis and their families through advocacy, eduaction, and prevention.

 

Sincerely,
