The new facility is a cutting-edge mixed-use property which will become home to both people with developmental disabilities and people without disabilities, as well as two commercial businesses.
CAU is a statewide Elizabeth-based non-profit providing support programs and services to adults with disabilities as well as youth served under the Department of Children and Families (DCF) to enable them to live independently in the community, in areas including housing, vocational and life-skills training, education, advocacy and recreation.
