Housing

The Housing Section of the Planning Department provides funding to assist in the development of new affordable housing as well as the rehabilitation of existing housing stock.  We also provide affordable housing and rental assistance to homeowners and tenants who are income eligible. The County, working in concert each municipality, addresses its local housing needs, as well as its share of regional affordable housing deficits.

The Housing Section is responsible for the creation of affordable housing units, rental assistance, homeless prevention and assistance, rehabilitation of units, supportive housing for persons with AIDS, and technical assistance to developers who are interested in affordable housing.

A video entitled "Housing Alive" showcases affordable housing and demonstrates how it blends in and improves our communities. Click here to view
