Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments Program in New Jersey

What the 14.195–New Jersey join is

CFDA 14.195 is titled SECTION 8 HOUSING ASSISTANCE PAYMENTS PROGRAM. Crossed with New Jersey place of performance, the obligation sum is $1,911,953,398 on 1,469 awards. The national HAP hub includes other states. New Jersey’s spending hub includes other programs. Only this intersection is reported here. $1,911,953,398 is an obligation aggregate from USAspending.gov, not an outlay and not a count of project-based units in Newark or Trenton.

A many-award pattern fits project-based HAP: owners and contract administrators often appear as separate assistance records. The join does not name those owners, split Hudson from South Jersey, or count assisted units. Packet facts stop at $1,911,953,398, 1,469 awards, NJ, and 14.195. Correlation is not causation.

14.195 is not tenant-based HCV

Housing Choice Vouchers (CFDA 14.871) is a different HUD catalog. Mixing tenant-based vouchers into $1,911,953,398 would invent a broader rental-assistance total than this cell contains. Public housing operating funds use other numbers still. Facts available: New Jersey, CFDA 14.195, $1,911,953,398, 1,469 awards. Contract rents and HAP payment dates are not in the facts.

The catalog title names Housing Assistance Payments, not a claim about New Jersey’s affordable-housing shortage. Dividing $1,911,953,398 by 1,469 yields about $1.30 million per award—a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical Essex County HAP contract. Unique recipients are unpublished. 1,469 is not a count of buildings.
