The New Brunswick Housing and Redevelopment Authority (NBHA) acts as the Redevelopment Authority for the City of New Brunswick. The NBHA coordinates and oversees all redevelopment projects that enhance the City of New Brunswick.
The NBHA creates valuable partnerships and fosters collaboration to leverage both public and private resources for project development. We focus our efforts into development initiatives where the community is an active participant in improving their neighborhoods.
We provide valued technical assistance and support that builds community capacity by strengthening neighborhood cultures. This attracts and maintains development opportunities to sustain neighborhoods. As the Redevelopment Authority, the NBHA works with community leaders and developers to complete revitalization projects that create economic development opportunities within the City of New Brunswick.
In 2025, the NBHA reviewed the status of its active redevelopment projects. Click this link for an update as of June 2025: NBHA – Status of Redevelopment Projects
