You mentioned work 62 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 2: for persons with disabilities. Murray House is operated by your DPD. 63 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 2: Tell us about Murray House what makes it special? 64 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 3: So Murray House was started by Father Jack Werwin and 65 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 3: it is the longest running group home in the state 66 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,600 Speaker 3: of New Jersey for adults with developmental disabilities. The agency 67 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 3: started out on rather a sad note in the sixties 68 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 3: when a young mother who had two children with disabilities 69 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 3: committed suicide because she couldn't have she couldn't stay home 70 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,479 Speaker 3: and be with the kids because she needed to work, 71 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 3: and she couldn't go to work because there was nobody 72 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,279 Speaker 3: to watch her kids. Their children weren't allowed to go 73 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,359 Speaker 3: to school at that time in the early sixties, and 74 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 3: there was really no services, and she felt trapped. Father 75 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 3: Whorland started what was called the Grunert Nursery Center in Patterson, 76 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:58,559 Speaker 3: and parents came out of the kind of woodwork and wow, 77 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:03,720 Speaker 3: this is wonderful that it was a daycare for special needs. 78 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 3: Kids with special needs. You know, those kids kind of 79 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,839 Speaker 3: grew up and they went Father Orland started a camp 80 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 3: for summer rest bite and then those kids became adults 81 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 3: and he saw the need for long term residential facility 82 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 3: for children with disabilities and young adults. And now some 83 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 3: of those adults, two of them are the original Murray 84 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,479 Speaker 3: residents that live at Murray House. And the current house 85 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 3: that we had, which was operating again since seventy one, 86 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 3: wasn't conducive for folks to age in place, so it 87 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 3: was a multi level facility, multi level home, and we 88 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 3: really felt the need that we needed all of to 89 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 3: make and move towards group homes that are rant style 90 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 3: homes where people can age in place, because some of 91 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,600 Speaker 3: the folks that have lived with us have been with 92 00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 3: us for so many years, and if they can't navigate 93 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:04,839 Speaker 3: the stairs, it's a safety hazard, a fire hazard, and 94 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 3: we have to kind of rearrange their residential placement to 95 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 3: make sure that we can accommodate them safely. And now 96 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 3: they can age in place and stay in their homes 97 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 3: as long as they can. 98 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 2: Can you talk about what people have been most excited 99 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 2: about since they've moved in. 100 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 3: The move was a lateral move. We were in Clifton 101 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:27,359 Speaker 3: and where we stayed in Clifton but the accessibility to 102 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 3: the home. The previous Murray Murray House was on four 103 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 3: different stories, so navigating the stairs and people with mobility 104 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 3: issues really starting to become a problem. So a fully 105 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 3: accessible home for folks. 106 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 2: To live and a and how do the staff feel 107 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 2: about it. I'm sure you've had some of those staff 108 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:47,600 Speaker 2: for many years as well. 109 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 3: One of the things foul the Whorland always said was, 110 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 3: no matter what, he always wanted our facilities to be 111 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:59,479 Speaker 3: top of the line maintenance free, and we've always kept 112 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,919 Speaker 3: that vision and goal alive to make sure that we 113 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 3: keep the homes nice. We also have One of father 114 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 3: Whorland's dreams was to have a living staff in each 115 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 3: of the facilities, so we have a staff or family 116 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 3: that lives with us, and his caveat was always that 117 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 3: if you lived there and they lived there, you have 118 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 3: investment in the house. You have an investment in the people, 119 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 3: You have investment in how the facility looks, that the 120 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 3: garbage cans are taken in, and we want to be 121 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 3: really good neighbors. So that is all part of the 122 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 3: values that father Whorland instilled in us. 123 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 2: Well, congratulations on opening that new space. You also had 124 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 2: another recent ribbon cutting for straight and narrow. That was 125 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 2: kind of a rebuilding after a fire in twenty nineteen. 126 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 3: Correct, we had just finished renovating a men's halfway house 127 00:07:55,360 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 3: and the building which was actually the quarter Right building, 128 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 3: the original Quarter to Right building that built airplane wings 129 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 3: for World War Two. Like any nonprofit or a grassroots organization, 130 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 3: when we start our programs, we usually fit the service 131 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 3: into an existing building that's leased or owned, and the 132 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 3: services fit into the space. Here, we had the opportunity, 133 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 3: not only because of the fire, but COVID hit and 134 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 3: a lot of planning went into the building to really 135 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:33,439 Speaker 3: design a full rehabilitation center that is conducive on a 136 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 3: conducive environment for those seeking assistance with recovery. So that 137 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 3: was a great it was a great opportunity. So what 138 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 3: turned into a tragedy. And we said at the ground 139 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 3: opening that we're so thankful that nobody was hurt. No 140 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:53,679 Speaker 3: emergency personnel were hurt, no firefighters, no police, no staff, 141 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 3: no residents, and a building is just a building. Lives 142 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 3: is what matters. And once we were over the fact 143 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 3: that everybody was safe, a Monsignor Tillier, who the building 144 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 3: is named after, Monsignor Herbert Tillier. He stood up and said, 145 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 3: we will rebuild, and here we are six years later. 146 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 3: And it took a long time and a lot of 147 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 3: contributors working with our leaders, especially Bendermin Wimberley and Nelly Poe, 148 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 3: really assisted us in moving this project forward. And it's 149 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 3: going to be a green building. We're going to have 150 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 3: solder on it. So it's really just a state of 151 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:32,559 Speaker 3: the art facility. 152 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 2: And now that you have, as you mentioned, an opportunity 153 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 2: or had an opportunity to build new kinds of programs. 154 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,679 Speaker 2: You mentioned the green roof, what else would you are 155 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 2: you able to offer in the new space. 156 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,199 Speaker 3: So we will have a fifty four bed men's halfway 157 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 3: house which will be upstairs.

And we really just 175 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,719 Speaker 3: of the need that food insecurity was so much and 176 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 3: we decided, with the assistance of Bishop Kevin Sweeney, allowed 177 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 3: us to do a capital campaign to completely renovate. It 178 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 3: was a five million dollar capital campaign that we raised 179 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:20,199 Speaker 3: the funds in about five months to do the work. 180 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 3: And this is going to be a choice food pantry. 181 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:28,320 Speaker 3: We have donations of freezers and just because we raised 182 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 3: the money, we're still frugal with the funds that we receive. 183 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 3: But it has like Costco or BJ's type coolers and 184 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 3: refrigerators where people can walk in, open the doors and 185 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 3: take out milk or take out eggs. And when I 186 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 3: say a choice food pantry, folks will get allotment of 187 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 3: points depending on their family size. When they come in, 188 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 3: they'll get a cart, they'll get the amount of points 189 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 3: that they have, and they can actually shop. And it's 190 00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 3: a switch from the traditional food pantry where you and 191 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 3: get a prepackaged bag of food. People get to really 192 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 3: choose what they want. We also have built in a 193 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 3: training center where we're going to do working with the 194 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:14,559 Speaker 3: Health Coalition of Passaic County in Saint Joe's Health in Patterson, 195 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 3: where we'll have diabetes training and health fares and vaccinations 196 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 3: and so it has a training space as well, and 197 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 3: the director, Carlos Rodan is we're actually going to be 198 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 3: starting a podcast Cooking with Carlos, and he's going to 199 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:35,560 Speaker 3: actually be taking food pantry items showing folks what you 200 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 3: can cook with items out of the food pantry. 201 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 2: Very any there's also a hydroponic garden, so you be 202 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 2: growing some of your own food. 203 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,199 Speaker 3: So yes, we're going to be one of the first 204 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 3: hydroponic farms in the state of New Jersey in an 205 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,319 Speaker 3: urban area.
