Access
Project Access is the only syringe exchange (SE) program located in Newark. The program is authorized by the State of New Jersey and the City of Newark to distribute sterile syringes to injection drug users and to accept used needles for proper disposal.
The program is anonymous and participants are provided with a card identifying them as a program participant which allows them to legally possess syringes.
At present the project operates from Monday through Friday except on holidays.
This project is funded by grants from the Comer, Tides, Diamond, Foundations, the MAC AIDS Fund, and the New Jersey AIDS Partnership.
