Newark Housing Authority

The Newark Housing Authority (NHA) is the largest public housing authority in New Jersey and the eleventh largest in the nation. We have a portfolio of 44 public housing communities with a total of over 8,000 rental units scattered throughout the City of Newark. NHA also administers up to 4,000 Housing Choice Vouchers (Section 8) within the city limits. A unique aspect of the Newark Housing Authority is that the agency also serves as a redevelopment authority and uses that power to enhance the renaissance of Newark. As a redevelopment authority, the NHA has a stake in the creation and maintenance of safe, livable neighborhoods and the expansion of economic opportunities in their communities. NHA shares with the City of Newark the vision of Newark being a thriving, diverse community with healthy neighborhoods and quality housing. We invite you to learn more about us: who we are, what we do, and how you can become a partner in our efforts to serve all the residents of Newark.
