About Essex Phoenix Mills
Essex Phoenix Mills is a HUD-assisted rental property in Paterson, New Jersey. According to HUD's Multifamily Properties (Assisted) dataset, the building has 145 total units, of which 144 receive federal rental assistance under Section 8 Project-Based Rental Assistance and Sec 8 SR.
