York Street Project

A safe home. A strong start for their children. The opportunity to build a better future. These are things every family deserves, but not every family has. For more than 35 years, York Street Project has helped women, children, and families in Jersey City turn those possibilities into reality. By bringing housing, early childhood education, workforce development, and compassionate support together, we help families move beyond crisis toward lasting stability and independence. And it works. Last year, 353 people, including 186 children, found support at York Street Project. Today, 85% of families who complete our Rapid Rehousing Program remain stably housed five years later, and 65% increase their annual income. This Giving Tuesday, December 1, help us raise $30,000 to create more opportunities for families to thrive. Every gift makes a difference. Donate, share this page, or become a Fundraising Champion and invite others to join you. Together, we can help build brighter futures, one family at a time.

I’m fundraising for York Street Project this Giving Tuesday because I believe every woman, family, and child deserves stability and the chance to rebuild their lives with dignity. York Street Project provides safe housing, early childhood education, diapers, wipes, life skills workshops, and the everyday essentials that help families move forward with confidence.
