Division of Housing and Community Resources
The Division of Housing and Community Resources (DHCR) is a vital operational unit within the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs (DCA). Headquartered in the William Ashby Community Affairs Building in downtown Trenton, the DHCR is responsible for administering a wide array of state and federal programs designed to improve the quality of life for low-income residents and strengthen neighborhoods. The division serves as the state's primary conduit for housing assistance funds, energy assistance grants, and community development resources, working directly with municipal governments, non-profit organizations, and individual constituents.
Key Assistance Programs
The DHCR manages several critical social safety net programs that provide direct support to eligible New Jersey households.
- Housing Assistance: The division administers the State Rental Assistance Program (SRAP) and the federal Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program, helping thousands of families afford safe housing in the private market.
- Energy Assistance: Through the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and the Universal Service Fund (USF), the division helps residents pay for heating and cooling costs and reduce energy burdens.
- Community Development: The Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) assists elderly, handicapped, and low-income persons in weatherizing their homes, conserving energy, and improving living conditions.
- Homelessness Prevention: Specialized programs provide emergency aid to prevent eviction and assist those experiencing homelessness in finding stable accommodations.
Location and Access
The division is located within the William Ashby Community Affairs Building at 101 South Broad Street. This is a secure state government facility. All visitors must present valid photo identification at the security desk and pass through metal detectors upon entry. The building is centrally located in Trenton's government district, making it highly accessible via public transportation, including the River Line light rail and multiple bus routes.
