The Special One-Time Assistance Program (SOTA) helps eligible households transition from New York City shelters into permanent housing. Many program participants choose to relocate to New Jersey, where more housing opportunities are available and commuting access to New York City remains convenient.
Our team works directly with both tenants and property owners throughout New Jersey to coordinate SOTA housing placements and ensure the process moves smoothly from apartment selection to final approval.
If you are currently searching for an apartment that accepts the Special One-Time Assistance Program, our team can help match you with available housing options throughout New Jersey.
We work directly with landlords and coordinate the SOTA process from start to finish, helping you secure housing as quickly as possible. Fill out the form below to get matched with available apartments that accept SOTA.
