Public Housing Agencies, commonly referred to as Housing Authorities and abbreviated as PHAs, are federally funded and regulated organizations tasked with developing long-term, sustainable housing strategies for the communities they serve.
Housing authorities offer many services for those within their jurisdiction, most notably the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher and Public Housing programs. Each housing authority participates in a different array of programs to best meet the needs of their community.
There are 106 public housing agencies in New Jersey managing a total of 345 affordable housing waiting lists that are open now or opening soon.
New Jersey housing authorities serve 114567 households through public housing and housing choice voucher programs. New Jersey's PHAs serve the most vulnerable residents with 43 percent of renter households in the state earning less than half the Area Median Income.
