Need Temporary Housing Due to Hurricane Sandy? Use This Online Tool

Locals displaced by Hurricane Sandy and seeking shelter could utilize the state’s New Jersey Housing Resource Center to find housing.

The New Jersey Housing Resource Center’s online tools provides a centralized place for those who are displaced to find housing and those with property available to list housing.

For Lacey, there are only two properties listed at Heritage Village at Seabreeze Apartments on Newark Avenue in Forked River. But searches can be expanded to neighboring municipalities or across the state.

As of Thursday, there were 64 housing listings in Ocean County ranging from $0 to $1,400 a month.

Housing is broken down into four categories: rentals, for sale, with accessibility features or temporary housing due to Hurricane Sandy.

The online tool is free and anonymous and vacancy information is updated continuously.
