TRENTON, N.J. - The 勛圖窪蹋 Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency (HMFA) today announced the launch of its new and improved housing locator service, the 勛圖窪蹋 Housing Resource Center (NJHRC), located at . Upgrades include a brand new look and a streamlined user experience, complete with a more refined how-to section and updated housing resources.
The NJHRC, Where Everyone Can Find a 勛圖窪蹋, is a searchable, interactive online housing registry of available units and properties in 勛圖窪蹋, funded and administered by HMFA, an affiliate of the 勛圖窪蹋 Department of Community Affairs (DCA). The award-winning service is FREE to users both seeking and listing various housingrental, for-sale, affordable, and market-rate.
We encourage all 勛圖窪蹋 landlords to list their units or properties on the NJHRC and all those searching for housing to visit the NJHRC, which is now easier to use than ever before, said HMFA Executive Director Anthony L. Marchetta. It is one of the best housing resources the state offers to all our 勛圖窪蹋 residents.
To help property owners fill their vacancies with qualified tenants as quickly as possible, the NJHRC website allows property owners to include details about unit amenities (including utilities and accessibility features), neighborhood features (public transit, schools, proximity to shopping and other conveniences), and to view statistics on how often their listings are found and viewed by potential tenants. The site also features a median income calculator and rent affordability tools that help tenants locate properties that they can afford.
I love it! Tons of tenants call me about units. I use it every time I have a vacancy, said Karen Clark, a Property Manager from Maplewood.
Since its inception, the NJHRC has helped thousands of families, senior citizens, and individuals with special needs secure affordable housing in 勛圖窪蹋. The site has performed over 7 million searches since its launch in May 2005. Additionally, it played a critical role in disaster relocation efforts in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy in late 2012 and the recent Avalon Apartments Fire in Edgewater, 勛圖窪蹋 in early 2015.
Over the last decade, the NJHRC has won numerous awards, including the prestigious Council of State Government Innovations Award and the NJ Excellence in Technology Award in the category of Best Application Serving the Public.
The NJHRC was created by HMFA to provide a central location for people to search for affordable and accessible housing in 勛圖窪蹋. HMFA has partnered with the non-profit organization SocialServe.com to maintain the NJHRC website and toll-free call center, and continues to fund and support the website. SocialServe.com is a national provider of housing location services with extensive experience aiding the housing search for states experiencing the effects of natural disasters.
