For Landlords Hit By Sandy

As part of The New Jersey Stronger initiative, landlords from Atlantic, Bergen, Cape May, Essex, Hudson, Middlesex, Monmouth, Ocean, and Union counties, who have 25 or fewer rental units are eligible for Community Development Block Grants from the U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development. With the rental shortage in New Jersey, these funds will help Landlords repair their damaged units so they can offer them back to the market for occupancy.  The $70 million Landlord Rental Repair Program,  offers rental property owners up to $50,000 per unit for repairs or disaster prevention work.

Landlords can apply by phone at 1-855-SANDYHM (1-855-726-3846), online at www.renewjerseystronger.org or in person at one of the state’s housing recovery centers.
