About Us

Palisades Emergency Residence Corporation (PERC) was founded on the belief that "with help there is hope." Located in Hudson County, NJ since 1981, PERC has worked to empower the community and to defeat the cycle of poverty.

PERC offers shelter, food, an after-school, educational programming, guidance, training, and other community-based social services. We work with women, men, at-risk youth, and children from all walks of life to provide for their basic needs and offer better opportunities for a brighter future. At PERC, we believe that food and shelter are basic human rights and that each and every person deserves dignity, respect, and opportunity.

Currently under construction, the PERC Supportive Housing Project will provide eight permanent, supportive housing units for people who are chronically homeless. PERC provides the only family shelter in Hudson County. Shelter Expansion

PERC remains open thanks to our many public and private supporters. We are able to serve those who are at risk or in need due to generous people like you.
