About This Program in Newark
In Newark, the Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) program and public housing are administered by the Newark Housing Authority (NHA). Rent is income-based — generally about 30% of adjusted household income — whether in an NHA development or with a voucher used in private housing.
How to Apply in Newark
Apply through NHA at newarkha.org when waitlists are open. New Jersey protects renters from source-of-income discrimination statewide (N.J.S.A. 10:5-1 et seq.), so most landlords cannot refuse a Housing Choice Voucher. Call NHA at (973) 273-6000 for current waitlist status.
