All questions that were answered YES on this application will be verified through the appropriate third-party source. It will be your responsibility to provide management with all necessary information to properly process your application and verify your eligibility. This will include names, addresses, phone and fax numbers, account numbers (where applicable), and any other information required to expedite this process.

An “Existing Tenant Search” will be performed at the time of processing an application to determine if the applicant or any household member is currently residing at another Multifamily Housing or Public and Indian Housing Location. This query will be performed prior to move-in to verify that an applicant has successfully been moved out and removed from rental assistance at another location. Under no circumstances may the applicant move in and/or receive rental assistance if it is discovered that they are still residing in or receiving active rental assistance at another assisted housing facility.

Supplement to Application for Federally Assisted Housing

Instructions: Optional Contact Person or Organization: You have the right by law to include as part of your application for housing, the name, address, telephone number, and other relevant information of a family member, friend, or social, health, advocacy, or other organization. This contact information is for the purpose of identifying a person or organization that may be able to help in resolving any issues that may arise during your tenancy or to assist in providing any special care or services you may require. You may update, remove, or change the information you provide on this form at any time. You are not required to provide this contact information, but if you choose to do so, please include the relevant information on this form.

Commitment of Housing Authority or Owner: If you are approved for housing, this information will be kept as part of your tenant file. If issues arise during your tenancy or if you require any services or special care, we may contact the person or organization you listed to assist in resolving the issues or in providing any services or special care to you.

Confidentiality Statement: The information provided on this form is confidential and will not be disclosed to anyone except as permitted by the applicant or applicable law.

Legal Notification: Section 644 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 (Public Law 102-550, approved October 28, 1992) requires each applicant for federally assisted housing to be offered the option of providing information regarding an additional contact person or organization. By accepting the applicant's application, the housing provider agrees to comply with the non-discrimination and equal opportunity requirements of 24 CFR section 5.105, including the prohibitions on discrimination in admission to or participation in federally assisted housing programs on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, disability, and familial status under the Fair Housing Act, and the prohibition on age discrimination under the Age Discrimination Act of 1975.

The information collection requirements contained in this form were submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520). The public reporting burden is estimated at 15 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Section 644 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 (42 U.S.C. 13604) imposed on HUD the obligation to require housing providers participating in HUD's assisted housing programs to provide any individual or family applying for occupancy in HUD-assisted housing with the option to include in the application for occupancy the name, address, telephone number, and other relevant information of a family member, friend, or person associated with a social, health, advocacy, or similar organization. The objective of providing such information is to facilitate contact by the housing provider with the person or organization identified by the tenant to assist in providing any delivery of services or special care to the tenant and assist with resolving any tenancy issues arising during the tenancy of such tenant. This supplemental application information is to be maintained by the housing provider and maintained as confidential information. Providing the information is basic to the operations of the HUD Assisted-Housing Program and is voluntary. It supports statutory requirements and program and management controls that prevent fraud, waste and mismanagement. In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act, an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information, unless the collection displays a currently valid OMB control number.

Privacy Statement: Public Law 102-550, authorizes the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to collect all the information (except the Social Security Number (SSN)) which will be used by HUD to protect disbursement data from fraudulent actions.

Disclosure Statement

New Jersey’s Fair Chance in Housing Act, N.J.S.A. 46:8-52 to 64 (FCHA), limits a housing provider’s ability to consider a person’s criminal history in deciding whether to extend an offer or whether to rent a home after extending an offer.

Before making a conditional offer of housing, Hampton Manor Apartments may consider only whether an applicant has a conviction for the manufacture or production of methamphetamine on the premises of federally assisted housing, or whether an applicant has a lifetime registration requirement under a State sex offender registration program. Hampton Manor Apartments will not consider, or request from an applicant or any other person or entity, any other information about an applicant’s criminal history as part of the application process until and unless a conditional offer of housing has been made.

After extending a conditional offer of housing, Hampton Manor Apartments intends to review and consider an applicant’s criminal record in determining whether to rent a home, in accordance with the FCHA and its accompanying rules.

Hampton Manor Apartments will not, either before or after the issuance of a conditional offer, evaluate or consider any of the following criminal records:

1. arrests or charges that have not resulted in a criminal conviction;
2. expunged convictions;
3. convictions erased through executive pardon;
4. vacated and otherwise legally nullified convictions;
5. juvenile adjudications of delinquency; and
6. records that have been sealed.

Hampton Manor Apartments may consider, after the issuance of a conditional offer, a criminal record that:

• Resulted in a conviction for murder, aggravated sexual assault, kidnapping, arson, human trafficking, sexual assault, endangering the welfare of a child in violation of N.J.S.2C:244(b)(3);
• Resulted in a conviction for any crime that requires lifetime state sex offender registration;
• Is for any 1st degree indictable offense, or release from prison for that offense, within the past 6 years;
• Is for any 2nd or 3rd degree indictable offense, or release from prison for that offense, within the past 4 years; or
• Is for any 4th degree indictable offense, or release from prison for that offense, within the past 1 year.

For more information about how these rules apply, please refer to the resources here.

Hampton Manor Apartments may withdraw a conditional offer based on your criminal record only if Hampton Manor Apartments determines, by a preponderance of the evidence, that the withdrawal is necessary to fulfill a substantial, legitimate, and nondiscriminatory interest.

If Hampton Manor Apartments utilizes any vendor or outside person/entity to conduct a criminal record check on their behalf, Hampton Manor Apartments will take reasonable steps to ensure that the vendor or outside person/entity conducts the criminal record check consistent with the requirements of the FCHA and rules. Specifically, if Hampton Manor Apartments receives a criminal history inquiry conducted by a vendor or outside person or entity that is conducted in violation of the FCHA in that it reveals a record that is not permitted to be considered under the FCHA, Hampton Manor Apartments must show that it did not rely on that information in making a determination about your tenancy.

If you are subjected to the withdrawal of a conditional offer of housing due to criminal history, you have the right to request and receive the materials relied upon by Hampton Manor Apartments in making this determination.

You have the right to dispute, within ten (10) days of receiving this statement, the relevance and accuracy of any criminal record, and to offer evidence of any mitigating facts or circumstances, including but not limited to your rehabilitation and good conduct since the criminal offense. You may also provide evidence demonstrating inaccuracies within aspects of your criminal record which may be considered under the FCHA, or evidence of rehabilitation or other mitigating factors to Hampton Manor Apartments at any time, including after the ten days.

Any action taken by Hampton Manor Apartments in violation of the process laid out in this statement may constitute a violation of the FCHA. If you believe that any owner, agent, employee, or designee of Hampton Manor Apartments has violated any of the above requirements, you may contact the New Jersey Division on Civil Rights at www.NJCivilRights.gov 1-866-405-3050. A complaint must be filed with DCR within 180 days of the allegedly discriminatory conduct. You cannot be subjected to retaliation for filing a complaint or for attempting to exercise your rights under the FCHA.

DCR has several fair housing fact sheets available here, or available for pickup in any of DCR’s four (4) regional offices.
