All,

The New Jersey Department of Community Affairs� (DCA) Division of Housing 
and Community Resources (DHCR) created  a new user-friendly eligibility 
screening tool designed to help New Jersey residents find available 
housing-related assistance programs for which they may qualify at DCA. See 
details below and attached.

Please share this valuable resource widely.

DCAid - Program Eligibility Screening Tool













The DCAid - Program Eligibility Screening Tool can be accessed at: 
https://www.nj.gov/dca/dcaid.




The DCAid tool is a quick and simple process that allows people to find out 
if they are eligible for housing assistance programs, utility assistance, 
homelessness prevention services, and other programs that will help to 
improve their quality of life.

The eligibility screening process is a series of questions that takes 
approximately 1-2 minutes to complete. Users can find out if they are 
eligible for DCA services that provide assistance with rent, including the 
Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program and the State Rental Assistance 
Program, heating costs, utility bills, removal of lead hazards in the home, 
Veterans Affair Supportive Housing (VASH), weatherization assistance, and 
homelessness prevention programs. The results, based on general income and 
household information entered, will provide the user with a brief 
description of eligible programs with contact information for the agency 
where the user can apply.




The DCAid program tool is available to New Jersey residents. Non-New Jersey 
residents are advised to contact their residing state for further 
information on how to access housing-related programs. People in emergency 
situations should dial NJ 2-1-1 for information on immediate assistance.
