Housing Authority of Fort Lee

About This Building

Programs to Provide Housing Assistance in Fort Lee The Housing Authority of Fort Lee is committed to helping low-income residents by offering various housing assistance programs. These programs are specifically designed to cater to the needs of individuals and families who require affordable housing options. Low Rent Public Housing Program One of the key initiatives provided by the Housing Authority is the Low Rent Public Housing program. Through this program, eligible individuals and families can access affordable rental units. The amount of rent paid is based on the individual's income, ensuring housing is within reach for those in need. Housing Choice Voucher Program - Section 8 The Housing Authority also manages the Housing Choice Voucher Program, commonly known as Section 8. This program provides assistance in the form of vouchers, which can be used to rent suitable housing from private landlords. Similar to the Low Rent Public Housing program, eligibility for Section 8 is based on income, as determined by the guidelines set by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Application Process and Waiting Lists Please note that there may be waiting lists for both rental units and vouchers. Due to limited resources and high demand, these waiting lists may close periodically to new applicants. To obtain more information about eligibility requirements, availability of rentals or vouchers, the status of waiting lists, and the application procedures, please contact the Housing Authority directly.
