We "Balance the needs of our community with the care of the Environment". Environmental health impacts are increasing at an alarming rate. Since its inception, FOEJN has advocated for the participation of disenfranchised communities in the activities and decisions made regarding the cleanup of toxins, contaminated groundwater, 8,000 acres of military munitions and other contaminants that cause adverse health affects to impacted residents. Quality Health Cre is a must. FOEJN also strives to involve local residents in reuse plans, and economic development recovery efforts. FOEJN has stressed the need for better funding streams to assist community based organizations like ours. We continue to stress the need for "Affordable housing', Business development, and livable wage jobs.
