The Housing Authority of Bergen County (HABC) is a government administration agency based in Hackensack, New Jersey, established in 1964 to expand housing opportunities for low-income families and older adults. Its operations focus on the efficient management and upkeep of affordable housing units and rental assistance programs, with the majority of programs funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Beyond traditional public housing roles, HABC also serves as a contract manager for community services, such as Bergen County’s 90-bed emergency shelter, contributing to efforts to address homelessness and provide supportive housing solutions. The authority owns and operates senior-focused community facilities, including the Martin Luther King, Jr. Senior Citizen Activity Center, reflecting a broader commitment to socialization and nutrition for aging residents. Overall, HABC aims to create a continuum of housing-related assistance that supports affordability and strives toward family self-sufficiency within the county.
