Supervised residence to open in Brick in early 2027
REED is bringing its residential program to Ocean County with the opening of a supervised home for adults with autism in Brick Township, New Jersey. Scheduled to open in early 2027, the four-bedroom home will serve adults ages 21 and older, expanding access to residential services in the region.
More than 3,600 individuals are currently on the New Jersey Division of Developmental Disabilities’ Community Care Program Priority Waiting List, underscoring the ongoing need for additional residential and community-based services. The Brick residence builds on REED’s established residential program, joining five supervised homes in Bergen County. The expansion will be led by REED Next Regional Director Danielle Gureghian, Ph.D., BCBA-D.
“Every family deserves the support their loved one needs to thrive,” said REED CEO Chantelle Walker. “This new residence is an important step in our ongoing work to close gaps in care, expand access to high-quality services, and create more opportunities for autistic adults to live full, purposeful lives close to home.”
Brick Township Mayor Lisa Crate said, “This residence reflects the kind of inclusive, supportive community we strive to be, and we’re pleased to welcome an organization that will make a meaningful difference for adults with autism and their families.”
