Choose love. Celebrate life. A Foundation for Youth and Families, Inc.

CLCL Foundation seeks to provide a haven of support and resources for at-risk youth and the community at large. Its core services include a “Warm Line”, Community Groups, Home Share Solutions Program to prevent 18-24-year-old homelessness, and on-site temporary youth shelter – dubbed The Tree house Program. These services will offer evidence-based, trauma-informed triage services, in a judgement free, safe, and nurturing environment.

Our mission is to empower youth and families in crisis, bridging the gap to vital resources and uplifting our diverse community through genuine partnerships and coalition building. We strive to foster growth, resilience, and a sense of belonging for youth and families before, during, and after crisis.

CLCL Foundation believes in the transformative power of love and celebration of life. We envision helping every teen in Monmouth and Ocean Counties feel safe, supported and included in their communities. This vision aims to empower every individual we serve to lead fulfilling lives and contribute positively to the community which helped serve them. Our vision is to prevent runaway and youth homelessness, trafficking, family crisis and child maltreatment.

Our services will provide Independent Living Skills, prevention groups, mental health services, emergency crisis sheltering services for youth 10-17 for up to 21-days without parents' permission, and up to 30-days with parents' permission. 

The TreeHouse Basic Center Program and Emergency Youth Shelter will open on January 1, 2025.
