Resilient Multifamily Housing Program

The Resilient Multifamily Housing Program (RMHP) is now accepting applications.

See the More Information section of this webpage or visit the New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency's property managers webpage for the RMHP application, program guidelines, and other instructions.

The program provides loans to owners of multifamily buildings that are under the oversight of the New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency (NJHMFA). The loans are for costs associated with rehabbing existing buildings to make them more resilient to disaster.

Eligible costs include, but are not limited to, elevating and/or floodproofing buildings, moving equipment to safer parts of the property, installing emergency generators and/or on-site renewable generation, hardening sites, adding stormwater mitigation infrastructure such as berms, vegetation, bioswales, green roofs, blue roofs, and rain gardens, creating safe refuges, and/or performing other necessary exterior work.

No new construction of multifamily housing is eligible.

Eligible properties must be located within the counties most impacted and distressed by Hurricane Ida. Those counties include Bergen, Essex, Gloucester, Hudson, Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex, Morris, Passaic, Somerset, Union, and Warren. 

The NJHMFA administers the program while DCA provides oversight of the program funds and ensures they are utilized in compliance with applicable federal and state laws and regulations.
