In recent years, New Jersey has taken several measures to address the issue of affordable housing and housing affordability. One significant step was the implementation of the "Fair Housing Act" in 1985, which aimed to provide affordable housing opportunities for low and moderate-income families. Under this act, the New Jersey Supreme Court established the Council on Affordable Housing (COAH) to oversee and enforce affordable housing obligations for municipalities. Additionally, New Jersey has encouraged the development of affordable housing through various incentive programs, such as the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program, which provides tax credits to developers who build affordable rental housing. The state has also offered funding and financial assistance to support the construction and rehabilitation of affordable housing units. Furthermore, in 2019, New Jersey passed a law called the "New Jersey Fair Housing Act," which sought to strengthen the enforcement of affordable housing requirements and promote fair housing practices. This legislation aimed to ensure that municipalities comply with their affordable housing obligations and work towards providing equitable housing opportunities for all residents. Despite these efforts, housing affordability remains a complex challenge in New Jersey, particularly in certain high-cost areas. The state continues to explore innovative approaches and collaborations between public and private sectors to tackle this issue and create a more inclusive and affordable housing market.

Regardless of what state you're in, the section 8 program is the same: its comprised of either public housing or a voucher that guarantees that the landlord will be paid a portion of the rent for a tenant who qualifies in the program, minus the tenant's portion of the rent, which is determined upon commencement of the program.
