Adolescent Housing Hub
The Adolescent Housing Hub (AHH or the Hub) is a real-time database designed to assist youth with placement in a transitional or permanent housing program. AHH is managed by the Office of Housing under the Department of Children and Families. AHH services are available to eligible homeless youth, youth at risk for homelessness, and youth aging out of the child welfare system, ages 18 – 21 years. Youth may contact PerformCare at 1-877-652-7624 24 hours a day to find out about housing and supports available to help.
There are 3 basic types of housing programs for young people in New Jersey that are homeless or DCF-involved:
STLP provides supervised housing and other supports to 18 to 21-year-old youth. Young people can stay at these programs for 18 to 24 months. In addition to housing, these programs also help with daily living skills, employment, education, and finding long term stable housing.
TLP provides semi-supervised housing and other supports to 18 to 21-year-old youth. The length of time a young person can stay at one of these programs varies. These programs also help with daily living skills, employment, education, and finding long term stable housing.
PSH provides housing with voluntary services for 18 to 21-year-old youth. There are no limits on how long young people can stay in one of these programs. Youth in these programs have a lease or sublet and pay some portion of their income toward rent (less than 30%).
Most of the programs are within walking distance of public transportation. If you are a DCF involved youth, your case worker or care manager can transport you to the program. If you are not a DCF-involved youth and you are not able to access public transportation, be sure to inform the housing program that you are in need of transportation to the program. Not all programs are able to transport youth.
Homeless Management Information system (HMIS)
HMIS displays shelter and transitional bed openings across New Jersey for adult and registered youth populations.
