    As of 4/28/2025

Central Jersey Housing Resource Center (CJHRC), as a HUD approved agency, is to provide the very low, low and moderate income individuals and households with information they need to make informed and reasonable decisions to achieve their financial and housing goals.

We operate one of the ONLY centralized housing information centers; assisting approximately 1,500 new clients while simultaneously helping existing clients annually at no charge.

CJHRC is a non-profit alliance of representatives from corporate and financial institutions, the real estate and development communities, social service providers, government leaders, and housing advocates, working locally to resolve issues facing households who are struggling to find housing that meets their needs and means.  We use our extensive resources to find affordable housing for households, individuals, senior citizens, and those with special needs.

CJHRC has a commitment to fair housing and ensuring everyone's rights are not negatively impacted.  Any household that has a question or issue relating to the Fair Housing Act can contact our office for assistance.

Languages Offered

CJHRC services are usually conducted in English. The information clients receive (resources/documents) will likely be in English. However, CJHRC strives to ensure clients do not have any language barriers.   Clients may request a Spanish-speaking CJHRC counselor or can tell CJHRC they want to request interpretation and/or translation services.  CJHRC will utilize their Translation Service Company with over 220 languages available.

Accessibility

CJHRC is in a barrier-free, elevator building to ensure clients do not experience any mobility barriers.
