When was the waiting list opened? Applicants were first able to join the Hoboken rental waiting list in the beginning of 2019. The City advertised in newspapers, and flyers were distributed throughout Hoboken and the housing region to get the “word” out to as many qualified and interested persons as possible. Applicants who joined the waiting list before May 8, 2019, were assigned a random (or lottery) number which is used to establish waiting list priority.
How many people are on the waiting list to rent an apartment in Hoboken? over 21,000 applicants are on the waiting list to rent an affordable apartment in Hoboken.
How does the local preference work? In August 2019, Hoboken passed an ordinance which gives waiting list preference to Hoboken residents. Applicants who live in Hoboken will be contacted for available apartments before non-residents.
Is the waiting list still open? How does an interested person apply? The waiting list is still open. Applicants can apply on-line at HobokenAffordableHousing.com which is operated by Acuity Consulting Services.
How can applicants check their waiting list status or submit updates? All applicants can update their application at HobokenAffordableHousing.com. For questions, please contact Acuity Consulting Services at info@HobokenAffordableHousing.com or 908-824-6207. For additional information, please visit review frequently asked questions at www.hobokenaffordablehousing.com/faq.
What is required while the applicant is waiting for an affordable apartment? All applicants must submit an update to ensure that Acuity Consulting Services has current information on-file when there is a vacancy.
Who is contacted for vacancies? When there is a vacancy, Acuity Consulting Services will contact the next applicant on the waiting list whose household size, income, and residency matches the unit type. The applicants must be under the maximum income limit for the apartment. Likewise, while there is no set minimum income level, there are limits on how much of the household’s income can be spent on housing expenses. In addition, whenever possible, the household must include at least one person for each bedroom in the affordable apartment.
Affordable housing opportunities are available through the Hoboken Housing Authority (HHA). Click here for more information about the HHA and housing opportunities.
