New Jerseyans who want to join the waiting list for Section 8 housing

by 5:00 p.m. on February 3rd, 2023.

Successful pre-applications will be selected through a random lottery
process. Applicants who qualify for a preference will receive priority
placement on the waiting list. A total of 20,000 households will be
selected in the random lottery, enabling those households to be added to
the waiting list to be awarded vouchers as they become available.
Applicants must be 18 years of age or older (or an emancipated minor) to
apply. An email address is required to apply. Applicants can create an
email address during the pre-application process, if desired.

Applicants who are disabled and need assistance submitting their
pre-application can call *609-292-4080 <6092924080>* and select Option 9
from the menu. Assistance is available from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., seven
days a week or by emailing *customer.service at dca.nj.gov
<customer.service at dca.nj.gov>.*

Applicants selected in the random lottery to be placed on the Section 8 HCV
waiting list will be notified via email, which may take several weeks.
Applicants can check their status after February 24th, 2023.

will receive emergency SNAP benefits. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the
federal government provided additional financial support to SNAP
recipients. That support is expiring after February 2023.

That means that starting in March 2023, you will only receive your regular
monthly benefit amount. If your approved monthly SNAP benefit is less than
$50, you will receive a supplemental payment from NJ SNAP to bring your
total benefit to $50.

SNAP households are encouraged to check their benefits before the next trip
to the grocery store. SNAP recipients can check their benefit details at
any time *by logging into the online portal

[image: Syringe with drip coming from needle]

New Jerseyans are encouraged to take the necessary precautions to keep
themselves and their loved ones healthy throughout the winter. Respiratory
viruses, including COVID-19, influenza, and Respiratory Syncytial Virus
(RSV) are currently circulating throughout the state.

Residents are particularly encouraged to stay up-to-date on COVID-19 and
flu vaccinations, including receiving the updated bivalent COVID-19 booster
when eligible.

Everyone six months of age and older is now eligible for the bivalent
COVID-19 vaccinations that target recently circulating Omicron subvariants.
COVID-19 vaccines are free to everyone. Find locations offering COVID-19
vaccines and boosters on the *COVID-19 Vaccine Finder
