The mission of The Hoboken Shelter is to provide a safe haven to homelessness adult men and women.

The shelter is owned and operated by Communities of Faith for Housing, Inc., a non-profit housing corporation made up of ministers and laity from houses of worship, as well as several Hoboken community leaders.

The shelter provides accommodations for 50 men and women nightly and serves 200 meals daily.  The shelter also offers case management, counseling, workshops in the arts, and training in job & life skills.  For more on these programs, click here.
