HOMECorp is a community-based non-profit organization, formed in 1988 by concerned residents and religious institutions in Montclair, New Jersey.  HOMECorp is committed to providing permanent/long-term support and the resources required to achieve its objective of stabilizing neglected areas of the town and enabling Montclair's low- and middle-income families, including senior citizens on fixed incomes, to live safely in beautifully restored homes. HOMECorp identifies distressed properties and, with the support of public and private funders returns them to their former splendor as affordable homes. In fact, HOMECorp is the only community-based nonprofit organization in Montclair that spends all of its time and resources providing affordable housing.

The renovation of blighted properties not only creates affordable housing opportunities, but often shores up an entire neighborhood, preventing further deterioration of its housing stock by securing new residents with a commitment to improving their block and their community. The results have been phenomenal. Since its inception, HOMECorp has acquired, renovated and sold 34 units of housing and rented 49 others.

With the hands-on assistance of local residents, donations of materials and the support of friendly lending institutions, professionals and groups of Montclair volunteers have contributed their time, expertise and financial assistance to rebuild houses purchased by HOMECorp for resale and rental.

HOMECorp is able to achieve its high measure of success because of the strong relationships it has formed with individual contributors, funders, churches and other Montclair-based organizations including Montclair Public Schools and the Montclair Police and Fire Departments. Major funding is received from JP Morgan/Chase, Bank of America, New Jersey Community Capital Corp., the Julius W. Foster Fund, The Montclair Foundation, The Sandy Hill Foundation, The Montclair Fund for Women, E. Franklin Robbins Charitable Trust, The Silver Family Foundation, The Whitehill Foundation, Kuhl Designs, The Rotary Club of Montclair, United Way of North Essex, the Montclair religious community, John Whitehead Foundation, Boiling Springs Savings, TD Bank, Montclair businesses and the Junior League of Montclair-Newark. Additional support is provided by the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs, Essex County Division of Housing and Community Development and the Township of Montclair.
