In 2016, over a thousand people were counted as homeless in Hudson County. That’s when the County developed a 10-year plan to end homelessness. The purpose of the program is to provide services that include medical care, essential support services and social services programs.
The County of Hudson established the Hudson County Homelessness Trust Fund to be utilized to address the needs of homeless persons. A surcharge of $3.00 will be assessed for each document filed or recorded in the County Register’s and County Clerk’s Office, which will be used exclusively for the Trust Fund.
A Hudson County Homelessness Trust Fund Advisory Board has been appointed by County Executive Tom DeGise and approved by the Board of Commissioners.
The term of the grant is January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022.
