The Housing Authority of the Township of North Bergen provides rental assistance under the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program to an additional 420 low-income families residing in privately-owned rental units located throughout the Township of North Bergen.

​

The purpose of the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program is to provide safe, decent, and sanitary housing for low-income households in the private rental market. Eligible households pay a portion of their monthly income towards their rent and utility costs. The balance of the rest is paid by the program directly to the owner of the rental property.

​

Section 8 is funded by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The Housing Authority of the Township of North Bergen administers the program within the Township of North Bergen.

​

Successful participation in the program requires that a participating family fulfill its obligations to its landlord and the North Bergen Housing Authority.
