Support Palisades Emergency Residence Corp by Shopping at Giveline

Palisades Emergency Residence Corporation (PERC) was founded on the principle that "with help there is hope."  For over a quarter century, we have empowered thousands of men, women and children living in poverty, providing education, shelter, food, employment, and access to mainstream services.

The Numbers

  • 37 million Americans live in poverty
  • 17% of children live below the poverty level
  • 1 in 100 adults in our society are homeless
  • 1.4 million children live on the streets each year

At PERC, we believe that each person deserves the basic rights of food, shelter and guidance for a better future.
 
To combat the above numbers, we provided the following in 2006:
 
-- The first and only family shelter in Hudson County. 
-- Free groceries and counseling to struggling families.
-- Free job training and language courses. 
-- 52,124 meals to hungry men, women and children.
-- 9,632 nights of shelter to those with no place to go.
-- 34% success rate of clients moving into independent housing!
