Dear Mr. Cook,
The Agency does not have a record which contains the information sought by
your OPRA request. Our IT Division, however, is running a search of our
database to provide a report which will contain some of the information
you are seeking. To that end, please see the questions in red below in
order to clarify your request.
Thank you,

Subject: OPRA request - Affordable housing units
Dear New Jersey Housing & Mortgage Finance Agency,
Under OPRA and the common law right of access, please provide documents,
lists, statements, or Excel spreadsheets sufficient to show the following
details on listings for housing units managed by the NJ Housing Resource
Center and listed online during the past 10 years (What date should be
used for the rent data? This data is constantly being updated. Should the
last tenant transaction for each unit as of now be used or a specific
date?):
1) Building address
2) Number of bedrooms
3) Number of bathrooms
4) Monthly rent - Do you want the monthly rent to pull from actual data
submitted by the NAHMA files? Do you want the Tenant Paid Rent or the
Gross Rent? Gross Rent includes the utility allowance. The query can pull
all of the Rent fields (there are 6 of them).
5) Income requirements
6) Date posted online - What does this reference? Is this the date the
properties were listed on the NJHRC website?
All requested details are available through the NH Housing Resource
Center's listings on Social Serve. Below I have included links to examples
of current listings.
With regard to all of the items, I prefer to receive the responses to this
request in one or more Microsoft Excel spreadsheets if at all possible.
Please feel free to contact me if I can be helpful in clarifying this
request. Thanks very much and have a nice day.

Dear Peter Yasenchak,
Thank you for the prompt response. Regarding the specific questions:
-- All of the rent fields from the submitted NAHMA files would be great
-- Yes, I was referring to the date posted on the NJHRC website
Finally, is it possible for your IT Division to send a list of available fields in their database (e.g., the 6 rent fields)?
Thanks again,
Cody Cook
Dear Mr. Cook,
After discussing your clarified request with representatives of our IT Division, we determined that a search of the Agency database would yield results that are overly broad, incomplete and of questionable accuracy in terms of the information you are seeking. Because the information you seek relates to properties on the NJHRC website, the most accurate and complete records would be those of Socialserve, the non-profit entity which administers the HRC website. I have contacted Socialserve and they are currently working on your request. I will advise as soon as I receive a response.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at the email address or telephone number below.
Thank you,

Dear Mr. Yasenchak,
I am writing to follow-up on my recent request for data on affordable housing units. Have you received any update from the team at Social Serve? Is there any additional information I can provide to help the process?
If you prefer, my email is codycook[at]stanford.edu. OPRA Machine appears to have redacted your contact information from your last response, so I was unable to follow-up via email as you requested.
Have a nice day!
Yours sincerely,
Cody Cook
