ROBBINSVILLE, N.J. — With the success of the benefit segment to his State of Robbinsville annual address since 2015, Mayor Dave Fried will continue to “Pay it Forward” to the Community Addiction Recovery Effort (C.A.R.E.) program this year.
According to the Township’s website, C.A.R.E. is an ongoing effort that offers treatment options for those suffering from opiate/opioid addiction.
For the past three years, Fried and his constituents have included this charitable effort that they have dubbed, “Pay it Forward,” and this year’s benefit for the C.A.R.E. program will take place May 8 at his annual address.
“Robbinsville Township and the C.A.R.E. program recognize addiction as a disease, and we are committed to providing every possible resource during the short window of opportunity when the arrested addict is at his/her most receptive moment,” Fried said.
C.A.R.E. has been the standard operating procedure used by the Robbinsville Township Police Department since Jan. 2016. On-duty officers coordinate an action plan to aid those arrested in the Township who are struggling with such addiction at the time of arrest.
“This is a nationwide epidemic and Robbinsville is not immune. But we are determined to do our part by providing a pathway for recovery. We can’t save everyone. But we can save one. That alone will make it all worthwhile,” said Fried.
The C.A.R.E. program helps arrestees who have no current arrest warrants or detainers in their names. Officers assist by offering a pathway to recovery: providing resources, access to treatment, and guidance from trained addiction professionals.
Since 2015, the State of the Township and Pay it Forward have raised nearly $150,000, reports the Township’s website.
This year, the Township of Robbinsville in conjunction with MidJersey Chamber of Commerce, The Way Foundation, and Recovery Advocates of America will support the C.A.R.E. program at various sponsorship levels.
The 2018 sponsorship levels are:
• C.A.R.E. Guardian: $25,000
• C.A.R.E. Warrior: $10,000
• C.A.R.E. Hero: $5,000
• C.A.R.E. Advocate: $2,500
Beverage/cigar sponsorship opportunities are available for $500. Keep it Local sponsorships are $250.
Reservations are $110 per person, and $1000 for tables of 10 persons. Anyone who cannot attend, but would like to donate $25 anonymously, or in an addict’s name, may do so prior to the event.
Sponsorships and donations to the C.A.R.E. program will be used for partial scholarships, travel expenses to get into recovery, lodging expenses, and essential items for treatment and recovery.
Treatment options and essentials are based on eligibility and availability.
Admission to the C.A.R.E. program does not exclude the arrestee from his/her legal obligations.
If you or someone you love is in need of intervention, call Recovery Advocates of America at 888-360-7788.
To become a sponsor at the various levels, or to attend the event, contact Jodi Stephens at jstephens@robbinsville.net.
EWING, N.J. – On the brink of Tuesday’s decision where the Federal Reserve would consider mortgage forgiveness to homeowners, there have been changes in local consumer spending and a rise in home prices.
Weidel Realtors of Ewing, believe that they will see a healing in the industry.
“Buyers are very savvy today,” said Robin Stewart, broker and director of sales. “Banks are more apt to giving mortgages,” she said.
However, Stewart cautioned that in about six months to a year from now, there might be more foreclosures. She said, “We think there will be an influx of foreclosures. We’ve only seen the brunt of it.”
The Federal Reserve is still waiting on more information to see if they should take further action to boost the economy, said Financial Times writers, Shannon Bond in New York, and Robin Harding in Washington. Even though mortgages are only a small portion of the economy, economists still consider home sales during economic slow downs.
Since home sales usually soar during the spring and summer months of March through June, this is just a seasonal outlook.
“We did see a big surge where sales doubled earlier this year as opposed to the same time last year,” said Stewart.
According to Jim O’Sullivan, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics, the research group, “the monthly improvement may be due to homes in foreclosure and short sales accounting for a smaller proportion of total home sales.”
Stewart agreed. She explained that some banks required that homeowners pay back their short sales. She said that some banks, however, were claiming these as losses and offering 1099 forms to homeowners who will then pay taxes on these short sales.
Their article concludes that retail sales fell in June for a third month. According to the writers, this suggests that the “sentiment has been darkening.”
O’Sullivan advises that, “‘the confidence data continue to show weakness…”’
Stewart said, “People are not really trying to spend their money on retail because they don’t know what’s going to happen in this economy.”
Therefore, the economy is showing signs of weakness, but with the rise in housing prices there is the notion of confidence and recovery. Since the housing market numbers seem to be seasonal, economists are not convinced as yet.
