Place of Promise is a permanent supportive housing program which endeavors to serve men and women with disabilities who are chronically homeless. This mission is fulfilled by providing services that assist each individual with setting and meeting personal goals and connecting to resources that will help them to become more self sufficient and live healthy and productive lives. In July 2013, CUMAC took over administrative and fiscal responsibility for this program in order to guarantee housing for its participants after the closure of its former sponsor organization.

Place of Promise continues CUMAC’s 30-year history of addressing major causes of food insecurity in Paterson and Passaic County. It is well documented that low-income individuals with disabilities are at great risk of slipping into hunger, often forced to make the hard choice between paying rent and buying food. CUMAC is proud to take on the challenge of this vital program in an effort to meet the need for housing among homeless and low-income persons with disabilities. We believe that permanent housing with support services is an effective way to insure that residents are able to break the cycle of chronic homelessness, achieve independence and remain food secure.
