About

Since its formation in 1938, the Housing Authority of the City of Elizabeth has worked diligently to meet the housing needs and improve the quality of life for all the residents it serves. We are an urban housing authority that has successfully demonstrated its capacity to deliver a broad range of social, economic, educational, and redevelopment services. Our ability to accomplish this is only further enhanced by partnerships we have established within the city, as well as with county and state agencies.

The Housing Authority of the City of Elizabeth owns and operates seven (7) properties comprised of the three (3) Family Sites and four (4) Senior Sites. The portfolio is a combination of Public Housing, RAD, and Affordable Housing. The Housing Authority also administers 1500 Section VIII vouchers. The Voucher program consists of grant monies received from the federal government for Shelter Plus Care Awards and the traditional tenant-based Section 8 assistance program.
