To secure ongoing federal rent subsidies for our tenants we are required to adhere to certain agency regulations and laws including:

• US Department of Housing and Urban Development
• NJ Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency
• NJ Department of Community Affairs

Ridge Oak Senior Housing maintains a waiting list of those that are age and income eligible. The income guidelines for Somerset County are as follows:

Villages 1-11
Upper Income Limit for an Individual = $44,800
Upper Income Limit for a Couple = $51,200

Village 12
Upper Income Limit for an Individual = $35,050
Upper Income Limit for a Couple = $40,050

Many things are considered when determining eligibility including age, citizenship status, size of household and income. All potential tenants are required to disclose all income and asset information. Potential tenants are subject to previous landlord, criminal background, and credit checks.

Each tenant must undergo a re-certification every year to renew his or her lease and to calculate his or her new rent payment.
