Housing is a  human right.  

Our mission is to help homeless and low-income families achieve sustainable independence. We recognize that poverty is a multifaceted problem that requires a multifaceted response. We respond by integrating educational outreach, smart programming, effective policies, and the hands-on work of thousands of volunteers. We provide food, shelter, and support services for homeless families. We provide advice and advocacy for at-risk families to prevent their becoming homeless. And we educate people about poverty and the means to combat it.

The Transitional Housing Program has the capacity to house ten homeless individuals at a time for a period of up to 24 months as they attempt to locate and develop the skills necessary to obtain and maintain permanent housing.  Individualswho enter our transitional housing program come primarily from living on the streets, places not meant for human habitation, or in emergency shelters.  Currently there are no other programs in Morris, Sussex, or Warren counties to help meet the specific needs of this vulnerable group.  Without the housing and intensive supports provided by The Eric Johnson House, these individuals with HIV/AIDS would not be able to regain control of their own lives, thus falling through the cracks, caught in a vicious cycle of homelessness.
