manages.

Devereux Foundation · NJ

A foundation
built to last.

Founded in 1912, Devereux has operated continuously in Hillsborough Township for over a century — through depressions, pandemics, and the slow, patient work of building trust.

People over paperwork.

We exist for the families who fall between systems — the child waiting for placement, the adult re-entering community, the parent holding it together by a thread. Every plan we write starts with a name, not a code.

They didn't hand us a brochure. They sat with us, in our kitchen, for two hours. That's the moment we knew this was different.

Six programs.
One standard.

Each Devereux program is built around a single question: what does this person need to live a fuller life, on their own terms? Drag, swipe, or scroll to explore.

How we
actually work.

Three commitments that shape every Devereux intake, plan, and follow-up — regardless of program.
01

We meet people where they are.

Not where the paperwork says they should be. Our intake team includes peers — people who have lived through the systems we work in. The first conversation is rarely about services. It is about trust.

In-home first visits

Most intakes happen in the family's kitchen, not our office. We come to you, anywhere in Hillsborough Township and the surrounding Somerset County area.

72-hour response window

From first call to first face-to-face contact, our standard is three business days. For crisis referrals, the standard is same day.

02

Plans are written with people, not for them.

Every care plan is co-authored with the individual and, where appropriate, their family. We bring clinical expertise; you bring lived expertise. Both are required for a plan that actually holds.

Co-authored care plans

Plans are reviewed every 90 days, in plain language, with the person they are about. No clinical jargon. No surprises.

Family voice in every review

Where the person consents, a family member or chosen supporter is invited to every planning meeting — not as an observer, but as a co-author.

03

We stay, even when the funding ends.

Programs come and go. Funding cycles end. What stays is the relationship. Our alumni network and peer support groups are open to anyone who has ever been part of a Devereux program — no expiration date.

Lifetime alumni access

Peer support groups, drop-in hours, and a dedicated alumni line staffed Tuesday through Saturday. Once Devereux, always Devereux.

Sliding-scale commitment

No one is turned away from core counseling services for inability to pay. Our sliding scale runs from $0 to $140 per session, based on household income.
