In 2009, the Jewish Renaissance Foundation, Inc. (the "Organization") was designated by the State as the official CAA for Middlesex County East. Although most Organization programs continue to benefit residents throughout Middlesex County, its state-funded CAA programs are provided specifically for qualified residents in eight designated communities: Carteret, Edison, Highland Park, Metuchen, Perth Amboy, Sayreville, South Amboy and Woodbridge.As a CAA, the Organization helps qualified people attain economic self-sufficiency.
