About The Elizabeth Coalition to House the Homeless

The Elizabeth Coalition to House the Homeless was one of the first organizations to advocate on behalf of homeless people in the State of New Jersey. It was founded in 1981 by Edith Cheney and Sr. Jacinta Fernandes in response to the mounting needs of homeless families and individuals in the greater Elizabeth community. Since that time, there has been an exponential increase in the number of homeless adults and children. This is a direct result of both a lack of truly affordable housing and a lack of jobs that pay a living wage. The Coalition has developed innovative strategies to organize and empower homeless people. These approaches have been adopted by a number of agencies throughout the State. Together with its “sister agency,” St. Joseph Social Service Center, it provides wraparound services and support to address the needs of the homeless. Its many services include: rental assistance, emergency housing, transitional family housing, a winter shelter program, educational and social support for homeless children, and the counseling services that are necessary to break the patterns that lead many individuals and families to homelessness.
