Hello Mayor Driver,

Ms. Angela Fields said the facility is at 8 New York Avenue in Flemington, NJ. She said on March 20 four churches will be present to witness the lease signing and official transfer of the keys (our visit is tomorrow). She said they have made alterations to the building for Family Promise of Hunterdon County to use as a shelter to serve four families (up to 14 people). She also noted there's still work to be done, and it will be opening in May/June 2022.

Let me know if for any reason something may prevent the shelter from opening?

Thank you,

Hi Steven,

I’m not aware of a Family Promiae shelter opening in Flemington. Not had our construction official received any permits.

Where is it?

Hello Mayor Driver,

Steven Rodas here, reporter with NJ.com. Good to e-meet and hope this finds you well!

Reaching out as I'm working on a story about the opening of Family Promise of Hunterdon County's new shelter in Flemington. I plan to visit the shelter tomorrow, Tuesday, 3/15 and speak with executive director, Angela Fields.

Ms. Fields shared with me that when it opens it will be Flemington, NJ's only operating shelter. I wanted to reach out to give you a chance to comment on the shelter, what it means to the community and whether you believe additional resources are needed to help families and individuals in need in Flemington and Hunterdon County.

Friendly FYI in terms of deadline, I plan to file Wednesday, 3/16 by 2 p.m.

Feel free to send a written statement or give me a ring at 215-262-6758.

Thanks very much,
