Hunterdon County Division of Housing – PRESS RELEASE

The Hunterdon County Division of Housing is holding a lottery for placement on the Hunterdon County Division of Housing’s, Housing Choice Voucher waiting list.   Placement on this waiting list is not first come, first served.

Preliminary Application Forms will be accepted from all persons based on the income limits established by the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD).

The purpose of the Housing Choice Voucher Program is to provide rental subsidies to eligible low-income households.  The income guidelines and regulations for this program are determined by HUD and the program is administered by the Hunterdon County Division of Housing.  The Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act of 1998 requires that at least seventy-five percent of the families admitted to the Housing Choice Voucher Program must have incomes that do not exceed 30% of the area media income.  Under the Housing Choice Voucher Program, the family’s rent portion is based on a percentage of the family’s total income (usually between 30% and 40% of the adjusted gross monthly income).  Once the family’s rent portion is determined, the Division of Housing pays the remaining rent to the owner.  In this program, the tenant is responsible for securing a place to live that is suitable for their family and that qualifies for the program.  Tenant selected units must be decent, safe and sanitary and must meet program specific rent limits.  Newly admitted program participants are not permitted to pay more than 40% of their adjusted monthly income toward their monthly rent.
