Housing Accessibility and Rehabilitation Program (HAR)

How it works

The Housing Accessibility and Rehabilitation Program (HAR) says its mission is to promote safety and independence through housing modifications, repairs, and safety mechanisms. The program is aimed at income-qualified senior citizens and individuals with disabilities who live in Hunterdon County, and it also provides housing accessibility consultation and technical assistance to all Hunterdon County residents who request help.

HAR describes itself as the only agency in Hunterdon County providing these housing modifications for low- and median-income families. The page also says the agency is volunteer-driven and committed to helping residents remain safely in their homes.
