Important Update Regarding Section 8 Waiting List Applications

The Union County Housing Choice Voucher Program opened the waiting list on June 1 at 9AM. The public notice stated that 500 applications would be accepted. When 500 applications were received at 9:08AM, the portal stopped allowing access to the application. Persons with applications in process at that time were allowed to complete their application and were added to the list which is now much larger than originally anticipated.

Please note: submitted applications cannot be changed. If your current mailing address changes, you should notify the program administrator Development Directions, LLC in writing, at 1600 St. Georges Ave, Rahway, NJ 07065.

The waiting list is accessed as vouchers become available. There is no way to determine how long it will take to work through the waiting list. You may be contacted within several months or it could take several years.
