About AL GOMER RESIDENCE
AL GOMER RESIDENCE is a HUD-assisted rental property in South Orange, New Jersey. According to HUD's Multifamily Properties (Assisted) dataset, the building has 66 total units, of which 65 receive federal rental assistance under Section 8 Project-Based Rental Assistance and 202/8 NC. That means the resident's share of rent is generally limited to roughly 30% of adjusted household income, with HUD covering the remainder of the contract rent paid to the owner.
This property primarily serves elderly residents (62+). About 97% of current residents are 62 or older, which is consistent with a Section 202 supportive housing community.
If you'd like to apply, contact the property's management office below. Project-based Section 8 waiting lists are managed by the property, not by your local public housing authority — you must apply to each building separately.

- Call the management office at the number above (or use the contact below) and ask whether the waiting list is open.
- Request an application packet. Most properties will mail or email it; some require you to pick it up in person.

- Update your contact information any time you move or change phone numbers — properties remove applicants who can't be reached.
