The Elizabeth Coalition to House the Homeless is a nonprofit organization in the Individual and Family Services sector, based at 118 Division Street, Elizabeth, New Jersey 07201, United States, and it employs 11–50 people. It was created in 1981 in response to a surge of homeless families and individuals and was among the first groups in New Jersey to advocate on behalf of the homeless. The organization provides wraparound services aimed at helping homeless and housing-insecure individuals transition to safe, affordable permanent housing. Core programs include Project Gatekeeper (emergency and ongoing case management and rental assistance), Intensive Outreach (year-round emergency shelter), Bernice's Place (after-school and summer program for homeless and at-risk youth, the first homeless children's program in New Jersey), and Hospitality House (transitional housing and supportive services for working homeless families). It also operates a Permanent Housing Initiative to address broader housing stability and to empower marginalized members of the community.
