Behind Every Result Is a Person

From Facing Eviction to Finding Stability

A woman and her family faced imminent eviction after a default judgment was entered against them. The landlord claimed nearly $5,000 in arrears, but our advocacy uncovered a very different story.

Our Work Creates a Stronger Community

Housing instability doesn’t affect just one household. When people are displaced, the effects ripple through families, neighborhoods, schools, workplaces, and communities.

By helping people remain housed, resolve housing disputes, access resources, and understand their rights, The Waterfront Project works toward a Hudson County where everyone has a fair opportunity to find and maintain a safe, stable home.

Housing Stability Starts With Knowing Your Options

Whether someone is facing an immediate housing crisis, trying to understand their rights, or looking for resources to achieve long-term housing stability, The Waterfront Project is here to help.
