New Opportunities to Apply for Affordable Housing in Bergen County and Newark

     Two waiting lists for affordable housing in northern New Jersey are opening up for new applications.
The Housing Authority of Bergen County will be accepting pre-applications for its Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program over a five-day period this month, beginning Monday, Jan. 14, through Friday, Jan. 18.

     Per HABC guidelines, Applicants must be over 18, or considered an emancipated minor, and must meet all income and eligibility requirements.
     A computerized random lottery will be held,  and the first 350 selected will be placed on the wait list, with the results announced on or after February 11. Pre-applications are available in English, Spanish and Korean and may only be submitted online. No paper applications will be distributed or accepted.
     Those needing assistance completing the application may come to the Housing Authority main office at One Bergen County Plaza, 2nd Floor, in Hackensack during that five-day period, between 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., and should be prepared to wait as staff will see clients in order of their arrival.
     To learn more details about this Bergen County opportunity, including income criteria and additional lottery instructions, click www.habcnjs8waitlist.org
 
​     The second opportunity to be placed on an affordable housing wait list is through the Newark Housing Authority, which has opened its Section 8 Housing wait list for any eligible senior citizens or disabled residents.
      Preference will be given to people age 62 or older, and the wait list will remain open indefinitely.
     Applicants will need to pick up a paper application at the Newark Housing Authority located at 500 Broad Street, 1st Floor, Newark.  That office is Monday through Friday, from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm. No online applications are available, and completed paper application must be returned during business hours or mailed to the address above.

    Who We Are

    ​     Age-Friendly Teaneck formed in 2016 with this mission in mind: A great place to grow up should be a great place to grow old.
         Our network of supporters includes some of Teaneck’s most-active government, business and civic leaders. 
         The project is directed by Elizabeth Davis, a licensed clinical social worker who founded Geriatric Services, Inc., a non-profit with oversight over two of Teaneck’s affordable living options for seniors -  Bright Side Manor assisted living residence and the Brookdale, a 64-unit affordable senior housing building.
         Project Coordinator Jacqueline Kates is a former mayor and township council member who recently retired as community relations coordinator at Holy Name Medical Center. 
        A diverse group of township leaders and residents sit on our steering committee and five task forces, together working toward the common goal of better serving the needs of township residents of all ages.
