[AsburyPark] FYI - city joins ligation - Market Street Mission
Wednesday night City Council formally joined the ligation against the Market Street Mission's appeal Its NOT over yet folks..Here is APP article ASBURY PARK The city is asking state Superior Court Judge Lawrence M. Lawson to make it a full party to an appeal filed last month by Market Street Mission, which hopes to overturn the Zoning Board of Adjustment's denial of a 40-bed homeless mission on Memorial Drive. Previously, the city was involved in litigation as a friend of the court in support of a group of residents who successfully challenged an earlier zoning board approval of the mission, which the Morristown- based Market Street Mission named the Jersey Shore Rescue Mission. After the zoning board last October reversed its previous approval of the proposed homeless shelter, Market Street appealed to get that setback overturned. The city is asking Lawson to be able to set forth its own position along with the zoning board, which will defend its decision. Brendan Judge, attorney for Market Street Mission, said Friday that one of his client's arguments is that the decision of the zoning board was not supported by evidence in the record. According to a copy of the mission's amended complaint, Market Street argues that it was able to establish in the record that the new mission can operate without substantial detriment to the public good. Market Street argues that to make their decision, the city zoners used external considerations that were not in the state Municipal Land Use Law. The zoners last October unanimously rejected the shelter, which had opened for about four months, saying it was too large an operation and could cycle up to 1,000 homeless men a year through the city from all over the state with no program in place to help them. The mission needed variances from the board to operate in a light industrial zone. The seven board members who voted that night said Market Street's plans to expand its operations on such a grand scale in Asbury Park were detrimental to a city that works to take care of its own homeless but should not be required to serve hundreds of homeless people from elsewhere. According to the latest appeal filed by Market Street, 27 of the 40 beds would be used by men needing emergency overnight shelter who could not stay longer than seven nights. Another 10 beds are designated for men who participate in a two-to-three-month life change program. Three beds are for staff. According to testimony last year, there was little programming in place for the men using up to 27 beds a night. They had to leave the shelter during the day and try to get help from the city's social services department or other agencies. City zoners first rejected the mission in 2005. Market Street appealed, and in 2006 former Superior Court Judge Alexander D. Lehrer reversed the zoning board's decision, saying the homeless shelter served a beneficial use. The case went back to the zoners, who approved it with certain conditions. In 2006, residents appealed the zoners' approval. After a decision against it, the mission was ordered closed by City Manager Terence Reidy. Lawson upheld the city manager's order. Article by Nancy Shields -2/9/08 Jessica 605 Langford Yahoo!

[AsburyPark] Community YMCA - fund raising
COMMUNITY YMCA Dear Community Member: I am asking you to join me in support of The Community YMCA's Strong Kids Campaign. The Y makes a very special promise No one is turned away due to an inability to pay. Each day the programs of The Community YMCA make a significant difference in the lives of some very special and deserving children. The funds we raise provide financial assistance for those children, teens, adults and seniors, who seek Y programs and services but lack the ability to pay the full amount of our modest fees. While our community has considerable affluence, many of our neighbors still struggle financially and we want to continue to assist those in need. The Counseling and Social Services Branch of The Community YMCA provides outpatient and in-home counseling services to some of the most vulnerable members of our community. The children and families we work with struggle with issues such as substance abuse, domestic violence, behavioral issues and mental health needs. In addition, we provide support services to children in foster homes as well as mentoring to at risk children and youth throughout Monmouth County. Last year we worked with over 1,600 children, adults and families in our community. I ask you to join with me in support of the Y's commitment to building strong kids, strong families and strong communities in spirit, mind and body. The Community YMCA is seeking donations to be auctioned off on e-Bay during the month of March. All proceeds will go directly to the Counseling and Social Services Branch and those making donations will be recognized on e-Bay. Thank you for your support as we continue to build strong kids, strong families, strong communities. Sincerely, Jessica R. Tighe 605 Langford St. Yahoo!
