How to Get Low-Income Housing in Newark, New Jersey
Low-income housing is a government assistance program that helps needy individuals and families afford to have a place to live. New Jersey public housing requires that you complete an application to be placed on the waiting list. Once you have been placed on the waiting list you will receive notification of your status on the list, and you'll receive a client control number that will be your number on the waiting list. Once your client control number is pulled, you will be sent a package of forms that must be completed and submitted, along with an appointment time for an determination interview.
