Another challenge is that they likely won’t have any consumer credit history. So renting an apartment or buying a car would be quite challenging.

Couples making 65k a year do not qualify for affordable housing in NJ, lol.

Well on top of replying to the wrong person, what you're saying is incorrect.

Statewide, the low income limit for Section 8, for a household consisting of 2 people is $71,500. So yes, a couple making $65k does qualify. This information is compiled by HUD and easily available online. You're free to verify it on your own.

Do you know if section 8 applies to single residents or is it only couples and familys?
