The purpose of this studio is to study the provision and implementation of HRC’s (Harm Reduction Centers) in New Jersey by directive of the public law signed into effect in 2021. In addition to existing HRC’s in 7 different locations, the NJDOH (Department of Health) is specifically interested in the implementation of vending machines and mobile units. 

We will investigate challenges to implementation,  including legal municipal issues, placement and community organization affiliation. By using municipal zoning law and case studies, we hope to contribute to existing research.
