Building a Better North Brunswick — Together.

HOUSING ASSISTANCE

Housing assistance and stability

Rental assistance, eviction prevention, homelessness prevention, vouchers, and homeowner support for North Brunswick residents.

Housing is one of the largest expenses faced by many households. This section helps residents learn about programs that may assist with paying housing costs, remaining safely housed during hardship, avoiding eviction, preventing homelessness, finding rental assistance, and addressing homeowner challenges.

Housing assistance is not limited to one type of household. Programs may be available for renters facing rising costs, families in temporary hardship, seniors on fixed incomes, residents with disabilities, and homeowners facing mortgage difficulties. Eligibility requirements vary by program.
