BRICK – The first of two planned group homes has opened in the township, each with well thought-out space for residents who have special needs.

The homes will be run by Enable Homes, a nonprofit corporation operating for 30 years that specializes in affordable housing for the disabled. 

Their Director of Residential Services Tom Lawson recently gave a tour of the new group home, located on Drum Point Road, and said it was the 20th such facility in central New Jersey.

Four men with intellectual, developmental and physical disabilities were selected to live at the new facility. Two are ambulatory, two are in wheelchairs and range in age from their 30s to 60s, he said.
