Housing Affordability Service (HAS) at New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency is an approved affordable housing administrative agent. HAS works with municipalities and developers of affordable housing to ensure that their affordable housing units are administered properly and effectively. Through the administration of these units across the State, HAS makes affordable housing available to those who need it.
The Council on Affordable Housing (COAH) requires that all municipalities seeking COAH credit contract with an approved administrative agent. The Uniform Housing Affordability Controls (UHAC, N.J.A.C 5:80-26.1) govern COAH housing units. HAS makes sure that all applicable UHAC policies and regulations are followed when developing and occupying affordable housing for its clients.
