Elizabeth has many options for those eligible for Section 8 housing assistance. Union County Housing Authority has made a decision not to create any low-income “projects”, but to assist people through the private rental market exclusively. Myapartmentmap.com has many listings, and keeps current availabilities accessible. After searching the city, select ‘show advanced options’, and check the Section 8 modifier to see what’s available. Union County (including Elizabeth) also participates in the Family Self-Sufficiency Program, helping people lessen their need for public assistance through employment assistance and planning.
