Fair Housing Program

Buena Borough has received a CDBG DR grant from the NJ Department of community Affairs.  These funds will be used to purchase and demolish a home that is subject to repetitive flood losses.  The borough fully endorses state and federal law regarding housing discrimination and actively promotes full access to housing opportunity, both rental and ownership, regardless of race, creed, color, religion, national origin, disability and/or familial status.

In order to affirmatively further fair housing, Buena Borough has established a Fair Housing Program and appointed a Fair Housing Officer.  Any person desiring information concerning fair housing or persons who believe they have been discriminated against in any housing related matter may contact the program for counseling and referral to State and federal enforcement agencies.
