Hearing Coordinator
P.O. Box 051
Trenton, NJ 08625-0051

Include in your letter, your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address (if available) and the reason you are
requesting an informal hearing.

The hearing process will afford you with the opportunity to present evidence and
witnesses in support of your position.

At your own expense, a private attorney may represent you. If you cannot
afford representation, check with Legal Services to find out if you qualify to be represented by one of their attorneys.

Appeals

If you are dissatisfied with the final decision issued after the informal hearing, you may have the right to appeal the
decision.

You will have forty-five (45) days from the date of the Hearing Officer's final decision to request a review
of the decision by writing to the Hearing Officer.

The Hearing Officer will evaluate the request to determine if the
matter qualifies as a "contested case" to be transmitted to the Office of Administrative Law (OAL).

The request
must include the name, address, telephone number and e-mail address (if applicable) and the factual basis or specific
reasons why you are requesting a review of the Hearing Officer's final decision. The written request must be addressed
to: Division of Housing and Community Resources, Hearing Officer, PO Box 051, Trenton, NJ 08625-0051.


Compliance in meeting the submission deadline is determined by the postmark on the envelope containing the
request.
Once you request a review of the final decision, in accordance with the Administrative Procedures Act (N.J.S.A.
§52:14B-12), the matter will be transmitted to the Office of Administrative Law (OAL) as a contested case if it meets
the criteria.
An appeal to the OAL involves transmitting the case to the OAL to be heard by an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ).
This process includes a formal hearing before the ALJ, who will issue an initial decision.

The Commissioner of the
DCA reviews the initial decision and issues a final decision, either accepting the initial decision, modifying it, or
rejecting it. The initial decision and the final decision will both be sent to the participant at the address provided in
the request.

N.J. Stat. § 52:14B-12
Current through L. 2024, c. 62.
Section 52:14B-12 - Administrative review

N.J.S. § 52:14B-12
L.1968, c.410, s.12.

NJDCA Housing Program Grievance Policy


The NJDCA Grievance Policy is designed to provide a process that enables eligible individuals to exercise their right
to file an informal complaint or a formal grievance with regard to specific policies and procedures and their
implementation which will have an "adverse" impact on the tenant's rights, duties, welfare or program status.

The
Policy is for resolving disputes between NJDCA clients and NJDCA because of an action that NJDCA did; or that it
failed to do under NJDCA's regulations.

It is not for disputes between tenants and landlords, for class grievances, or
for dealing with issues between tenant groups and the NJDCA, personal injury, property damage or challenging
NJDCA policies.


A grievance concerning a particular act or occurrence must be presented, to the local Field Office Supervisor no later
than 60 days of the act or occurrence unless the grievant can show that circumstances beyond his/her control
prevented filing within that period. Grievance related matters will be addressed first by a member of NJDCA
Management (Regional Manager) who will attempt to resolve situation with the client. If the matter cannot be
resolved by the Regional Manager, the Department Director or his/her designee will attempt to provide resolution
If this is not possible, the grievance shall be forwarded to the Quality Assurance Coordinator (QAC) for review and
determination. The QAC will conduct any investigation of any complaint communicated to it alleging NJDCA's
noncompliance with its established policies and procedures. The complaint should be submitted by the grievant as
soon as possible but no later than 60 calendar days after the alleged violation to:
QA Coordinator
Department of Community Affairs
101 South Broad Street
Trenton, NJ 08625
609-292-6420
-10-

The complaint should be in writing and contain information about the alleged impropriety such as name, address,
phone number of complainant and location, date, and description of the problem. Alternative means of filing
complaints, such as personal interviews or a tape recording of the complaint will be made available for persons with
disabilities upon request.

Within 30 calendar days, the QAC will respond in writing, and where appropriate, in a format accessible to the
complainant, such as large print, Braille, or audio tape. The response will explain the position of NJDCA and offer
options for substantive resolution of the complaint.
If the response by the QAC does not satisfactorily resolve the issue, the complainant may appeal the decision within
30 calendar days after receipt of the response to the NJDCA Commissioner.


Within 30 calendar days after receipt, the NJDCA Commissioner or his/her designee will respond in writing, and,
where appropriate, in a format accessible to the complainant, with a final resolution of the complaint.
All written complaints received by the QAC, appeals to the NJDCA Commissioner and responses to these complaints
will be retained by the NJDCA for at least four years.

Housing and Urban Development to provide families, seniors and the disabled with affordable housing. HUD finances Sections 8 through public housing authorities, which administer the program within New Jersey. The housing authority selects all participants, including landlords, and determines whether rental units meet HUD guidelines. It also pays the difference between the rent amount and 30 percent of the voucher-holder's income.


HUD maintains a list of approximately 60 housing authorities across New Jersey that offer Section 8. Each PHA administers the program according to HUD guidelines, but exercises its own discretion to choose landlords, rental properties and renters for the voucher program.

Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers
 Work here? Manage your listings!
by Bayonne Housing Authority

The Housing Choice Voucher program is the federal government's major program for assisting very low-income families, the elderly, and the disabled to afford decent, safe, and sanitary housing in the private market.

Since housing assistance is provided on behalf of the family or individual, participants are able to find their own housing, including single-family homes, townhouses and apartments.The participant is free to choose any housing that meets the requirements of the program and is not limited to units located in subsidized housing projects.

 Housing choice vouchers are administered locally by public housing agencies (PHAs).

Services provided:

- Help pay for housing

A family that is issued a housing voucher is responsible for finding a suitable housing unit of the family's choice where the owner agrees to rent under the program.

This unit may include the family's present residence. Rental units must meet minimum standards of health and safety, as determined by the PHA. A housing subsidy is paid to the landlord directly by the PHA on behalf of the participating family.

The family then pays the difference between the actual rent charged by the landlord and the amount subsidized by the program. Under certain circumstances, if authorized by the PHA, a family may use its voucher to purchase a modest home.
Services this program provides:

Transferring a Section 8 voucher from one state to another can be done through what is known as portability.
This process involves finding a new PHA in the desired location that has jurisdiction over the desired rental unit.

https://www.nyc.gov/site/nycha/section-8/how_portability_works.page

If you are interested in moving outside New York City, you must submit a Portability Request.
What is Portability?

"Portability" in the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program, refers to the process through which your family can transfer or "port" your Section 8 voucher to a location outside the jurisdiction of the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA).

The Public Housing Agency (PHA) who is currently issuing your subsidy, NYCHA, is referred to as the initial PHA.

The agency that will administer your Section 8 assistance in the area that you are moving to, is called the receiving PHA.
Things to Keep in Mind when Porting

You must adhere to the rules and regulations of the receiving PHA which may differ from the initial voucher issued by NYCHA. Some common differences you should be aware of are: Voucher Size: The new receiving PHA may have different occupancy standards. In other words, NYCHA may have issued you a three-bedroom voucher, but the receiving PHA may issue you a two-bedroom voucher. Payment Standards: Payment standards may be different for other PHAs. Payment standards determine the amount of rent a PHA will pay on your behalf. The portion of the rent you will pay at the new PHA may be more than what you are paying at NYCHA.
The Receiving PHA

When contacting the receiving PHA, you may want to ask about their programs (i.e., Family Self Sufficiency Program or Home Ownership Programs).

Although the receiving PHA will extend your voucher an additional 30 days, try to manage your move so that you will have enough time to find a new unit within the new jurisdiction and submit a Request for Tenancy Approval, before your voucher expires.

If you decide you do not want to lease a unit in that area, you must notify the receiving PHA to cancel your request. The PHA will confirm your cancellation and return your voucher to NYCHA.
