Department of Community Affairs
will be accepting pre-applications for
State Rental Assistance Program (SRAP)
The New Jersey Department of Community Affairs (DCA) is pleased to announce the statewide open enrollment SRAP waitlist, a state funded program that provides housing subsidies on behalf of very low-income New Jersey residents, for decent, safe and sanitary housing.
The open enrollment period is Monday, January 13, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. until Friday January 31, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. SRAP pre-applications will be selected through a lottery process, therefore, it does not matter when you submit your pre-application as long as you complete it during the open enrollment period. Every pre-application successfully submitted during the open enrollment period has a chance of being selected during the lottery.
Persons applying must meet all applicable SRAP income and eligibility requirements. A total of 6,000 households will be selected through a lottery system to be placed on the State Rental Assistance Program waiting list. Please note that only New Jersey residents are eligible to apply for SRAP assistance.
DCA has adopted the following preferences for admission to the waiting list: Veterans, Homeless, Elderly, Disabled, Local and Residency Preference. Applicants who qualify for one or more preferences will have priority for selection for placement on the waiting list.
Please contact DCA-DHCR at 609-292-4080 and select Option 9 from the menu and request a reasonable accommodation, during the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. seven days a week, or email us at: customer.service@dca.nj.gov., during the opening period.
