The Waterfront Project, Inc is a leading nonprofit legal center dedicated to providing free civil legal representation, assistance, and advocacy to low-income individuals, homeless residents, and disenfranchised communities in Hudson County, New Jersey.

We champion housing justice by addressing critical legal issues such as landlord-tenant disputes, contract negotiations, estate planning, social security claims, and family law matters. Our team of experienced attorneys, counselors, and advocates works tirelessly to ensure equitable access to the New Jersey civil justice system.

Founded in 2013, The Waterfront Project’s commitment extends beyond legal defense to include a vital Housing Counseling Program, offering free advice and referrals to renters and homeowners facing housing challenges. We are driven by a mission to prevent evictions, stop foreclosures, and protect the housing rights of vulnerable residents, fostering stability and dignity within our community.
