About Housing Authority of Somerset

The Housing Authority of Somerset (HAS) is a municipal housing authority. HAS provides affordable, safe, and neighborhood homes for rent to income eligible families, elderly, and persons with disabilities.

Eligibility is determined by your total family income, rental history, and good community relationships. The rental program is part of the partnership between the housing authority and the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

The Housing Authority of Somerset (HAS) administers Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV) that are funded by the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Eligibility for the HCV program is determined by your total family income.

The home selected must be affordable and meet housing quality standard.

A portion of the rent is paid directly to the landlord on behalf of a family.
