PRELIMINARY APPLICATION and COVER LETTER 
Dear Affordable Housing Applicant: 
Thank you for inquiring about affordable housing with The Township of Robbinsville. We 
currently administer over 200 AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS throughout 
Robbinsville/Mercer County. However, we receive a greater number of applications than there 
are units available, so placement in a unit is often not immediate. 
In order to be eligible for an affordable housing unit, you must meet certain income limits as 
determined by the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs (DCA). Income limits are 
determined by region. Our housing units are located in Region 4, which includes the following 
counties: Mercer, Monmouth, and Ocean. Income limits can vary from year to year and depend 
upon the number of persons in the household. The income limits for 2023 are: 
Number of

If you believe you fall within these income limits, fill out and submit this preliminary 
application to our office. If we approve your preliminary application, you will be placed in our 
applicant pool of eligible BUYERS. When a unit becomes available we randomize our list. If 
you are the first person selected, you will be invited to view the unit to see if you are 
interested. If you are not interested, we will go to the next person on the list. However, when 
the next unit becomes available, our list is re-randomized, meaning that you will not receive 
preference for the next available unit. If you are interested, you will be required to submit all 
necessary documentation and income verification.  Since the unit is for purchase, you will be 
required to obtain a mortgage. If you are certified as an eligible prospective purchaser, you will 
complete a more detailed application. If you do not meet all certification criteria, you will be 
removed from our list and must reapply when, and if, you meet the income requirements. 
Please remember that all applications and documents are held in the strictest confidence. 
If you have any further questions please contact us at (609) 259-3600 x l134.

Township of Robbinsville 
Policies and Requirements                         
For All Applicants_____________________________________________________________ 
♦ 
It is unlawful to discriminate against any person making application to buy or rent a home with 
regard to age, race, religion, national origin, sex, handicapped, familial status or sexual 
orientation. 
♦ 
This affordable housing must be the intended primary residence of the applicant. 
♦ 
All household members who intend to reside at the affordable homes must be listed in the 
Preliminary Application.   If changes in household composition occur during the application 
process, or if there is a change of address, the applicant is required to notify the 
Township of Robbinsville, Office of Affordable Housing in writing, immediately. 
♦ 
Applications must be truthful, complete and accurate.    Any false statement makes the 
application null and void, and subjects the applicant to penalties imposed by law. 
♦ 
Annual Income includes, but is not limited to, salary or wages, alimony, child support, social 
security benefits, unemployment benefits, pensions, business income, and actual or imputed 
earnings from assets (which include bank accounts, certificates of deposit, stocks, bonds, or 
other securities), and real estate. 
♦ 
If you own a home in which you are currently residing and which you intend to sell prior to 
living in an affordable home, compute your income from this asset by taking the market value 
of your home, subtracting any applicable broker fees AND the current principal of your 
mortgage, and multiply the balance by 2%.    Income from other real estate holdings is 
determined by the actual income you receive from the asset (less expenses, but not less your 
mortgage payment). 
♦ 
Specific documentation to verify income and assets will be required at a later date, during the 
final portion of the application process. 
♦ 
Please understand that the pricing for affordable housing is established and governed by 
Federal, State and / or municipal regulations.   Although consideration is made for low- and 
moderate- categories of household incomes, sales prices do not fluctuate on the basis of each 
individual applicant's income.  Therefore, we cannot and do not guarantee that any home will 
be affordable to YOU or YOUR household. 
♦ 
We do not provide financing to purchase affordable homes. Financing for an affordable home 
is subject to terms and conditions set forth by the State of New Jersey.   Monthly payments,  
including principal, interest, property taxes, insurance and condominium fees, may not exceed 
33% of your income without the applicant receiving home- buyer counseling by an agency 
approved by HUD or the N. J. Department of Banking and Insurance, which details the 
advisability of such a mortgage loan.   For a list of approved counseling agencies, contact 
HUD, the N. J. Department of Banking and Insurance or our website: HousingQuest.com.
