Housing

Johnson Park Apartments

The JPC Johnson Park Apartments (JPA) are a place where women and their families can get a new start. We offer 1 to 4 bedroom apartments with a range of supportive services focused toward family reunification and the recovery process.

At JPA, a mother can focus on successfully completing her treatment program in a supportive, structured and safe environment that is free from survival-related anxiety. Working with her Case Manager, she will establish life goals for herself while learning how to live independently, become a better parent, and obtain employment.

Our facility is conveniently and centrally located in the City of Utica in recently remodeled homes. Each family will have its own apartment in a beautiful and clean neighborhood. Handicapped adaptable/accessible apartments are also available.

Family Emergency Shelter

The JPC Family Emergency Shelter is the only one of its kind in Oneida County. We accept entire families (traditional and non-traditional) regardless of composition, helping them stay together in times of crisis and need.

All residents must be certified as homeless and low-income by the Oneida County Department of Social Services.

Families stay in shared, bunk-style rooms with a communal kitchen and bathrooms. The kitchen is stocked with staple food items so residents can prepare nutritious meals. Families have use of a telephone for local calls, and JPC provides a basic level of assistance in helping them to find permanent housing.

Those staying in the Shelter also have access to all Johnson Park Center programs and services, including the Food Pantry, Youth Center, and Second Chance/Re-Entry Programs.
