The Fresh Start Residential Community Home is located in Allaire State Park on the rear of the grounds of the Arthur Brisbane Child Treatment Center in Monmouth County. Fresh Start is a specialized program serving 28 juveniles with special needs who range in age from 13 to 18.

Prospective candidates are screened and referred through the Juvenile Justice Commission's classification committee. Priority is given to those youth identified as seriously emotionally disturbed, impaired or otherwise vulnerable within the Commission's other programs and institutions. Those youth placed at the Fresh Start Program have been identified as appropriate for a less restrictive environment.

The mission of this program is to provide treatment for youth with special needs. To best serve each juvenile, a comprehensive assessment is completed to develop strategies to address each young person's strengths and weaknesses.

Academic and vocational classes are held on-site. Community service is regularly conducted at a local nursing home. Residents also assist several community organizations including the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
