New Jersey has 261 income-restricted senior properties in our directory, concentrated in Essex, Camden, Monmouth and Bergen counties. Here is what the figures mean and how the state's lists work.
The $1,759 to $2,132 range above is HUD Fair Market Rent context, the ceiling program rents are tied to, not a quote. Section 202 residents pay about 30 percent of adjusted income. Tax-credit units carry a fixed rent by bracket. The very-low-income limit shown, about $46,767 a year for one person in published HUD tables, is a statewide reference; northern counties near New York have higher limits than the south.
You apply to each property, not to a program. Most keep their own waiting list, and the wait at a Section 202 building in a large city can run a year or more. Apply to several at once, keep copies, and ask each property how it notifies you when your name comes up; a missed letter can cost your place.
The New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency (NJHMFA) allocates tax credits and publishes property lists. The state Department of Community Affairs runs the statewide Section 8 voucher list, which opens rarely and briefly; many county and city housing authorities run their own lists as well. Section 202 buildings keep their own lists through the management company.
New Jersey's Medicaid long-term care benefits run through NJ FamilyCare Managed Long Term Services and Supports (MLTSS), which pays for in-home help and adult day care for people who qualify. Residents who are over the Medicaid limit can use the county Office on Aging for homemaker and respite programs. Both work alongside subsidized housing.
