St. Paul's Community Development Corporation (SPCDC)

St. Paul's Community Development Corporation (SPCDC) St. Paul's Community Development Corporation (SPCDC) was founded in 1990 as a 501(C)(3), nonprofit, social service and community development organization.

SPCDC programs respond to the needs of our community by providing comprehensive, supportive, social services that can break the cycle of homelessness and move an individual from shelter to transitional housing, to employment and a permanent home. These human services are staff-driven and are administered on and off-site. Case managers, mentors, teachers, health care providers, social workers, and

substance abuse counselors, work with participants to improve the quality of life for families and individuals through stability and education. Participants are assisted in identifying and prioritizing their needs, in strengthening their ability to constructively resolve their problems, and develop a plan to prevent the re-occurrence of said problems in the future. SPCDC is supported by a dedicated full-time staff of 20 professionals, including a leadership team comprised of the Executive Director and the Director of Finance. In addition, over 20 AmeriCorps Members and 200 volunteers support the work of the agency and its program services annually. The ethnic and socioeconomic mix of the SPCDC Board, staff and volunteers, reflects the diversity of the community served. SPCDC has had a long-term commitment to the Greater Paterson and Passaic County community, providing a varied array of human and social services to more than 3,500 individuals and families annually.

Due to steady rain, cool temperatures, and potential for high winds in the forecast, Passaic County Parks & Recreation’s Earth Day Festival at Rifle Camp Park has unfortunately been canceled.

While the rainfall will certainly benefit our local environment, conditions will not allow us to safely and effectively host the event.
We appreciate everyone’s understanding and thank our vendors, partners, and community members for their continued support. 🌎🌿

A Message from Dr. Laurie W. Newell

Letter to the Community Regarding ICE

Recently, our community has felt the weight of heightened concerns regarding the presence of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in our area. I am writing to reaffirm that our district’s top priority is to ensure our schools remain a safe, supportive, and welcoming environment for every student, regardless of immigration status.
