NCC Timeline

New Community's first housing development opened in 1975. It was followed by a series of family and senior citizen residences that were built and opened through the 1980s and 1990s. In 1985, NCC completed the renovation of its current headquarters, St. Joseph Plaza, in a formerly shuttered church on West Market Street. An extended care facility opened in 1986 and a transitional facility for homeless families in 1989. The New Community Neighborhood Shopping Center, with its inner city Pathmark supermarket, opened its doors in 1990.

The NCC Neighborhood Shopping Center, housing NCC's Pathmark, has been an asset to consumers in the Central Ward for a decade. It is also home to the World of Foods, a food court that houses a variety of franchises owned by NCC. Among the establishments at the World of Foods are Pizza Hut, Nathan's and Newark's only Taco Bell. The World of Foods is also home to NCC's Southern Kitchen.

Mailboxes Etc., which provides a full range of shipping and mailing services, in addition to post office boxes, and Dunkin' Donuts, are also located at the Bergen Street shopping center. Both are NCC-owned franchises. All earnings from the NCC franchises are reinvested in the community through NCC's programs and projects.

The pace and scope of NCC's undertakings mushroomed during the 1990s to include a rapidly expanding presence in health care, a state-of-the-art job training and continuing education facility, one of New Jersey's largest welfare-to-work programs and community-based charter schools.

Over the course of two decades, New Community had become the nation's largest, most comprehensive and accomplished provider of community-based programs and services. Today, it stands as the nation's most compelling model of "critical scale" community-based development.

In the early 2000s, guided by its mission "to help residents of inner cities improve the quality of their lives to reflect individual, God-given dignity and personal achievement-" New Community is moving forcefully into education, early childhood learning and the expansion of community-based health care. Its latest housing development, the $25 million Community Hills development of two- and three-bedroom town homes, provides homeownership opportunities on the site of the former Hayes Homes public housing project, adjacent to the flashpoint of the 1967 disorders.

In its commitment to providing comprehensive and holistic services, NCC is leading the way for the next generation of community-based development.
