Section 8 Housing in NJ

Toby S.

Posted

Hoping to get some quick insight. We have a pair of tenants that would easily qualify for Section 8 housing assistance, and would make great tenants, but they currently reside with the wife's mother. Some events changed for my wife and I on short notice and we will soon have our rental unit available. My question is, if they have not yet started the process, does anyone know how long (or how quickly) it would take for this couple to apply for the Section 8 housing assistance and be able to move into our rental? And is the HUD-NJ office the place to contact to find out? Thanks for all the help everyone provides on this forum!

In Middlesex County the section 8 process is handled by the county office on social services.  You should try the county office where the property is located for specific info.
