St Joseph’s Home

St. Joseph’s Home, part of York Street Project in Jersey City, provides a safe, structured living environment for homeless families transitioning toward independent lives. The program offers supportive emergency shelter and transitional housing for parents and their children, with private bedroom space and shared common areas that help residents build routines and household responsibilities.

York Street Project’s approach addresses more than housing alone. Support may include case management, mental health services, child care, transportation assistance, life-skills workshops, utility assistance, rental assistance, and help transitioning to community housing. These services are part of a broader effort to connect housing, education, childcare, and healing as families work toward stability and self-sufficiency.
