Isaiah House

Isaiah House is a non-profit agency for children and families in Essex County, New Jersey. Community based and supported, the organization is the result of a 1984 alliance between the Community Service Council of the Oranges and Maplewood (a division of United Way of Essex and West Hudson), the Junior League of the Oranges and Short Hills, and the... Concerned Clergy of East Orange. Having opened their doors in 1988, Isaiah House remains the only shelter in East Orange and provides temporary lodging, food, social and financial services, as well as comfort and hope for over 100 families a year.

In addition to housing, Isaiah House offers a variety of support services to family members, including life skills training, instructions in household and money management, job search assistance, tutoring, medical referrals, and on-site drug and alcohol abuse support group.
