For families across Essex County, one unexpected expense, reduction in income, or financial emergency can put the stability of home at risk.

For more than a century, the Urban League of Essex County (ULEC) has helped Essex County families build greater stability, opportunity, and economic security. Today, our neighbors need us again.

The ULEC Rental Assistance Fund helps our neighbors facing housing instability get the support they need to remain safely housed.

Your gift today can help a family facing a difficult moment stay in the place they call home.

While our Rental Assistance Fund remains a fundraising priority through the end of the year, donors may also choose to support other critical areas of impact, including our new Literacy Center opening soon, and connecting families with available rental apartments in eight newly constructed two-family homes in Newark’s Fairmount Heights neighborhood.

Every gift helps expand opportunity, stability, and economic mobility for Essex County residents.

Give today. Help an Essex County neighbor stay home.
