Transforming Lives
The Jersey City Housing Authority (JCHA) was formed in 1938 to provide decent, affordable housing for low-income families, seniors, and persons with disabilities. JCHA is New Jersey’s second largest public housing authority, serving over 15,000 residents. We are responsible for the administration of approximately 7,100 housing units in every ward of Jersey City, including approximately 2,500 public housing units and over 4,600 Housing Choice Vouchers.
Healthier Homes
Sponsored by RISE Foundation
Healthier Homes is a free wellness app designed to help residents build healthier habits and improve their overall well-being. Through fitness activities, healthy challenges, educational resources, and rewards, the app encourages community members to take small steps toward healthier lifestyles. Residents can track their progress, participate in wellness initiatives, and earn points while making positive changes for themselves and their families.
By promoting wellness, prevention, and community engagement, Healthier Homes helps create stronger, healthier communities where residents can thrive. Healthy communities lead to improved quality of life, increased physical activity, reduced stress, and stronger connections among neighbors. Our goal is to make healthy living accessible, enjoyable, and rewarding while empowering residents to take charge of their health and create lasting habits that benefit future generations.
