New Jersey Federal & State Supportive Housing Funding Guide

The Supportive Housing Association of New Jersey's Federal & State Supportive Housing Funding Guide is a resource created to help organizations better understand the complex funding sources available to them. This guide reviews current funding sources such as the HOME Program, Affordable Housing Trust Fund, National Housing Trust Fund, Special Needs Housing Trust Fund, and more. The document lays out  clear guidelines for each program as well as provides examples of New Jersey projects which have secured funding through these sources. As the network of state and local funding is fluid and ever-changing this guide is current as of 4/22/2026. SHA will work to update this document as needed.
