He's scheduled to be in the state's largest city Tuesday to unveil an initiative that will build a complex with 51 new units in Newark's North Ward. Bon Jovi will be joined by Newark Mayor Cory A. Booker and Gov. Jon Corzine.

The new building will offer residential and support services to homeless people living with AIDS.

Bon Jovi opened Newark's Prudential Center last October with a series of 10 concerts.
