This mission is accomplished by:


• Partnering with faith-based organizations

For the past two-and-a-half years, CALTR has hosted numerous week-long church groups and teams of college students (arranged through our partner organization, World Renew), who share the common desire to help those in nee

d. Additionally, CALTR organizes 1-day work trips. We welcome people from any and all faiths to serve as volunteers repairing houses affected by the storm. CALTR has an ongoing collaboration with Work First NJ. This partnership gives those who are unemployed the opportunity to be mentored by working alongside those who are skilled, in areas such as roofing, flooring and carpentry. CALTR is currently looking to expand our partnerships with other social service agencies in Middlesex and Monmouth counties. CALTR wishes to thank Gateway Disaster Response Team for having been instrumental to CALTR’s efforts at the Jersey shore by providing invaluable needs assessment as well as job assignments. such as Brethren Disaster Response, A Future with Hope, and St. Bernard Project has enabled to expand the depth and breadth of the number of home owners we assist. CALTR depends on volunteers to meet its goal of returning families to safe and functional homes. Projections for a full recovery at the Jersey shore are at least 5 years away.
