Other Programs
5 programsThese programs are administered by this housing authority but do not have active waitlist openings at this time. Statuses are verified nightly and subscribers will be notified when changes are detected.
The Freehold Housing Authority provides affordable housing through its Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher programs.
Mainstream Vouchers provide rental assistance specifically for non-elderly persons with disabilities. The program helps individuals transition out of institutional settings or avoid institutionalization by subsidizing housing costs in the private market.
Eligibility requires applicants to be over 18, low-income, and a present or past recipient of behavioral health services; requires submission of birth certificate, social security card, and proof of disability.
Project-Based Vouchers are tied to specific housing units rather than following the tenant. Landlords or developers partner with the housing authority to reserve units for eligible low-income families. Unlike tenant-based HCV vouchers, PBV assistance stays with the unit if the tenant moves.
The waiting list is currently closed. Preferences include involuntarily displaced, substandard housing, rent burden, veteran, and living or working in Freehold. The authority offers six family communities with 1-3 bedrooms and one community for senior/disabled households.
