TOMS RIVER – The front of the house looks like a very nice, very large two-story home. It just happens to have a lot of parking spaces and another office building behind it.

Inside, you’ll find a large, open dining room and kitchen with multiple appliances. A living room area had holiday decorations up at the time. The bedrooms are all upstairs. Everything is like a house, just bigger.

This was done by design. It’s meant to feel like a home. Even the lack of signs on the property let it fit in with the neighborhood. This is Ocean’s Harbor House, a place for youth who are homeless or in crisis. Despite the name, they also serve Monmouth County.

This particular building houses the Supervised Transitional Living Program. It is meant to provide security and structure for youth ages 16-21, as they learn the skills and get employment to become independent adults.
