The Monmouth
County Fair Housing Office
The Monmouth County
Fair Housing Office receives close to 100 housing complaints annually.
Many of the complaints were referred to the U.S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development's Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity
for investigation purposes. The complaints consisted of the following:
housing discrimination, differential treatment of a person on the basis
of race, religion, color, national origin, ancestry, marital status,
sex, affectional or sexual orientation, handicap, nationality and family
status.
The Fair Housing
Office provides general information and assistance on many other housing
problems. Over sixty cases were referred to other agencies that are
funded and staffed to handle a specific housing problem. The Fair Housing
Office also performed twenty-six sessions of training and technical
assistance to individuals, groups, agencies and organizations.
First-Time
Homebuyers Program
Another program
administered by the Community Development Division is the First-Time
Homebuyers Program. Created in 1994 and funded by the U.S. Department
of Housing and Urban Development, this program enables lower income
families to purchase a home.
Working closely
with numerous lending institutions, the county provides up to $10,000
in the form of interest-free, deferred second mortgages to the lending
institutions' lower income applicants which can be used for down payment,
closing and other necessary loan costs.
