About Us

OUR MISSION

The Hudson County Housing Resource Center’s mission is to prevent homelessness through comprehensive housing counseling services and housing opportunities for low/moderate-income, disabled tenants. Through development and advocacy, HRC protects and increases affordable housing opportunities.

OUR HISTORY

Founded in 1991 by County Executive Robert C. Janiszewski, the Board of Chosen Freeholders (Commissioners), the Hudson County Tenants Council, and the late Reverend Msgr. John J. Gilchrist, The Hudson County Housing Resource Center, Inc. (HRC), has been serving the most vulnerable residents of Hudson County with tenant’s rights and access to safe and affordable housing.

HRC participates in the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)’s Housing Counseling Program. Hudson County residents facing housing related issues receive free and confidential information, guidance and referrals by a HUD-Certified Housing Counselor.

In 1992, HRC expanded its services to provide Tenant Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) to low and moderate-low income, disabled residents of Hudson County. In the years since, HRC has provided safe and affordable housing in the private market to over 1,100 families.

In 2000, with the support of County HOME funds and the NJ Department of Community Affairs, HRC acquired and rehabilitated a multi-family property in West New York, New Jersey. Through this project, HRC is able to provide permanent, safe, and affordable project based housing to low income families.
