A groundbreaking ceremony was held July 21 to celebrate the start of renovations being made to the Ocean County Safe House operated by Providence House of Catholic Charities, Diocese of Trenton.
Providence House provides services to victims of domestic violence and their children. Funds for the renovations, which amounted to $750,000 were secured by New Jersey Congressman Chris Smith.
Along with the Congressman, those in attendance included diocesan and Catholic Charities staff as well as local and state officials.
“The Providence House domestic violence shelter in Ocean County — and its hardworking, dedicated staff — provides critical support to women and children who have fled abusive domestic environments and are in dire need of protected transitional housing while they seek permanent, safe and independent living,” said Smith, who hails from the Diocese of Trenton and is a member of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish, Whiting.
