How to Apply for Housing
All applications for housing must be filled out in person by the designated head of the household at THA’s Admissions and Occupancy Department, which is located at 875 New Willow Street, Trenton, NJ 08638. The Office is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Persons with disabilities may call the THA office at 609-278-5000 or 609-278-5019 to receive an application through the mail.
THA staff is available to provide assistance to any applicant that has difficulty completing the application. Literacy, language, vision or any other related problems should not be barriers to anyone completing an application. We strive to be as helpful as we can to all applicants going through the process.
The application process involves two phases—the pre-application and full application phase.
The pre-application phase: The pre-application phase is the first step in the process to determine the applicant’s eligibility for and placement on the waiting list for housing. The pre-application contains general questions to obtain background information on the applicant. Once the pre-application is submitted to and accepted by the THA, it will be dated and time-stamped to determine placement on the waiting list. Applicants will receive written notification if their application is accepted or denied for pre-eligibility.
The full-application phase: The full-application phase takes place once the pre-eligible applicant reaches the top of the waiting list for housing. At this time, applicants are asked to provide more thorough information to ensure that they meet all HUD and THA eligibility factors. All adult family members that will be living in the housing must also complete a personal declaration form and release of information form (Download HUD Form 9886 as a PDF File) to be provided by THA. In addition, they must participate in a full application interview with a THA staff member to review, finalize, and sign the application. Once this verification process is complete, the THA will make a final determination on eligibility and housing will be assigned to those that are accepted.
Please feel free to contact us with specific questions or for more information about any step in the application process.
