About Us – The Waterfront Project

Our Mission

Welcome to The Waterfront Project, Inc. (WFP), where we believe that housing is a fundamental human right. Founded in 2013, we have dedicated ourselves to providing free civil legal representation, assistance, and advocacy to New Jersey residents who are asset-limited, income-constrained, homeless, or disenfranchised. Our mission is to ensure safe, stable housing for everyone, and we serve hundreds of families facing housing insecurity through our comprehensive Legal Defense and Housing Counseling Programs.

OUR IMPACT

Over the years, WFP has made a profound difference in the lives of countless individuals and families across northern New Jersey. Our legal and housing services have prevented evictions, stopped foreclosures, and provided critical support to those in need. We are proud to empower our clients with the knowledge and resources they need to navigate complex legal systems, ensuring they can stay in their homes and live with dignity.
