What Irvington Township Housing Authority does

Irvington Township Housing Authority (IHA), also known as Irvington Housing Authority, is a Public Housing Agency incorporated under New Jersey state law and operating under the oversight of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The agency administers two federally funded housing assistance programs in Irvington, New Jersey: the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program, which subsidizes rent for very low-income families, elderly persons, and disabled persons in the private market, and the Public Housing program, which provides income-based rental housing in agency-managed units. Eligibility is determined using HUD income limits and citizenship/immigration criteria, and rents are calculated based on anticipated gross annual income.

IHA's service delivery is supported by the PHA-Web portal platform, a third-party-hosted system providing Tenant, Landlord, and Applicant portals for online rent payment, work order submission, inspection tracking, and waiting list management. The agency operates from a primary office at 50 Union Avenue, Suite 702, with a paper application pickup location at 101-A Union Avenue and a community/training facility at 624 Nye Avenue used for Board of Commissioners and Resident Advisory Board meetings. Staff of approximately 10-11 individuals includes an Acting Executive Director (Joe DeGrazio), program managers for HCV and Public Housing, a Comptroller, maintenance, and administrative roles; HUD Recovery Administrators currently serve as the Board of Commissioners in the absence of a local board.

The agency's revenue model is non-commercial: operating funds flow from HUD federal appropriations allocated for HCV administration and Public Housing operations, and rent payments to participating private-market landlords are issued on the second business day of each month with direct deposit available. IHA is currently undertaking a Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) conversion and operates under HUD Recovery Administration oversight following governance changes. An unrelated municipal regulatory matter involving misuse of $632,000 in opioid settlement funds by Irvington township officials has been noted in reporting but pertains to township government, not IHA's housing programs.
