It would be a real struggle until your husband starts getting a paycheck. I highly recommend he find a job before you all move here.

Couples making 65k a year in NJ qualify to get affordable housing but that's only for US citizens. I think they'd also qualify for food assistance but I'm not positive about that.

Another challenge is that they likely won’t have any consumer credit history. So renting an apartment or buying a car would be quite challenging.

Well on top of replying to the wrong person, what you're saying is incorrect.

Statewide, the low income limit for Section 8, for a household consisting of 2 people is $71,500. So yes, a couple making $65k does qualify. This information is compiled by HUD and easily available online. You're free to verify it on your own.

Do you know if section 8 applies to single residents or is it only couples and familys?
