Welcome to the Glassboro Housing Authority website. We have recently redesigned our website in order to give you a better understanding of who we are and what we do. You will find various information on the programs we support and services we offer.
The Mission of The Housing Authority of the Borough of Glassboro is to promote adequate and affordable housing, economic opportunity, and a suitable living environment free from discrimination.
The Housing Authority shall service the housing and social needs of lower income, elderly, handicapped, and family households living and working in its jurisdiction. Rental assistance opportunities shall be provided to qualified applicants and families. Rental assistance shall be provided to those otherwise qualified and selected families on public housing owned, tenant-lease-purchase housing, or leased housing that shall be decent, safe, and sanitary.
Dear HCV Program Participants, Landlords, and Community Stakeholders: Last year, GHA received notice from HUD that our Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program was in “Shortfall”, this means that the funds allocated by HUD to our program to cover GHA’s portion of rental assistance was not sufficient to cover all current contracts at year’s end. GHA worked in close contact with HUD and implemented short-term cost saving measures required by HUD to avoid terminating assistance to any participant in the HCV program and be eligible to receive “Shortfall Funding”. However, late last year, HUD issued a notice indicating that the expected funding for FY2026 may be once again insufficient to cover all current contracts, directing PHAs across the country to implement short-term cost saving measures as noted under PIH Notice 2025-28 until further notice. A letter detailing the implemented cost saving measures to mitigate the risk of being in Shortfall at the end of FY2026 has been mailed to each landlord and program participants, a copy of which can be found under dowloads page. GHA understands that these changes may create uncertainty and concern. Please know that we are committed to implementing any changes as carefully and fairly as possible, prioritizing the least impactful options first, continuing to support both landlords and participants to the best of our ability. GHA will continue to communicate any specific policy changes in advance and provide guidance as they are implemented. Thank you for your continued partnership and understanding as we work through these challenges together. Sincerely, Housing Authority of the Borough of Glassboro
