The Historic Paulus Hook Association (HPHA) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Since its founding in 1974, the HPHA's goal has been to promote the common good of area residents while improving quality of life and advocating for open space, historic preservation, and responsible development in the Paulus Hook neighborhood of downtown Jersey City. We actively support local recycling efforts, work with local businesses to create and run community events, and engage in negotiations with local construction to ensure residents' lives have limited disruption. We are committed to making Paulus Hook a safe environment for our families and pets.
