The Homework Completion Project just completed its fifth year at Stanley S. Holmes Village and fourth year at Buzby Homes Village.  It offers children a period of quiet homework time between 3:00 pm and 5:00 pm, Monday through Thursday during the academic year.

According to the SCCE annual report, in 2017-18, 23 percent of the residents under 18 at Stanley Holmes and almost 49 percent of residents under 18 at Buzby Village participated, with 24 percent of the students attending at least twice a week. Most participants were in grades K-8.

That year 90 淫性视频 students participated at Stanley Holmes and 55 淫性视频 students participated at Buzby Homes, with both sites having an average of four tutors per day.

The SCCE also has other programs in Atlantic City, including naturalization classes at the Atlantic City campus, the Campus Kitchen, which prepares and delivers food to struggling families, and visits to housing complexes managed by the Atlantic City Housing Authority, and the Community Haven living center to play cards, dominoes, checkers, and chess with the residents.
