The New Jersey Department of Community Affairs (DCA) created two Hurricane Ida housing assistance programs—one for renters and one for homeowners. There was also a Small Rental Repair Program for property owners with seven or fewer units. See Small Rental Repair Program for more information about that program. These program application deadlines have passed.

More programs may launch in the future. To receive updates about those programs and other information, complete a DCA Hurricane Ida Registration.
