Resources for the Housing Administrator


Welcome to COAH's on-line resource for administrators of affordable housing!

This webpage is designed specifically for housing administrators responsible for affordable units included in Fair Share Plans submitted to COAH. Here you will find many useful resources and tools for understanding the affordable housing process, your role in that process, and ways to effectively and correctly administer affordable housing consistent with all applicable regulations. Whether you administer rental or for-sale housing, there is information on this webpage that will be of assistance to you. As new information, forms, and model documents are available, this webpage will be updated. COAH will also post information about upcoming training sessions. So be sure to check back often!

 
Affordable housing units credited in Fair Share Plans submitted to COAH are subject to the Uniform Housing Affordability Controls (U.H.A.C.). Affordable units must also follow certain guidelines set forth by the source(s) of funding for the units. Units funded under certain programs are exempt from some of the requirements of U.H.A.C.

COAH has published a manual for understanding U.H.A.C. and the housing administration process. The manual is available through the following link in a .pdf format. To request a printed copy of the manual, please contact COAH at (609) 292-3000. Please take the time to read the UHAC Manual and contact COAH with any questions you may have.

UNDERSTANDING U.H.A.C.

 

If you are interested in listing available affordable housing units at no cost, visit the New Jersey Housing Resource Center.

 

Below are several resources that relate to the information in the handbook. Appendices (model forms and documents) are also posted.
