Hudson Pride Center To Open New Center In Jersey City

JERSEY CITY, NJ — The Hudson Pride Center plans on opening a new home center in Jersey City's Journal Square.

The Hudson Pride Center is partnering with investment management company, Lord, Abbett & Co. to create a new facility in Jersey City. Lord Abbett has pledged to contribute $700,000 over the next three years for the facility. In early 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, HPC made the hard decision to relocate out of their offices in CarePoint Christ Hospital and transition all services to remote and virtual. For now, they will continue to use digital platforms of communication to provide all services.

Hudson Pride Center has served the LGBTQ+ community in Jersey City and Hudson County for over 25 years.

“Our team at Hudson Pride is extremely excited to announce the opening of our brand-new center home in the Journal Square area of Jersey City and to one day all be together again safely. With the significant financial support from Lord Abbett, we can secure our center’s future while growing our services to meet the continuing needs of our LGBTQ+ community. This partnership is a momentous step for our center and for the years to come,” said the Executive Director of Hudson Pride Center, Elizabeth Schedl.

Lord Abbett will work with Hudson Pride Center on future joint programming partnerships that continue to support the LGBTQ+ community members of Jersey City and throughout all of Hudson County.
