Moderate Price Housing 

The Program

The Cherry Hill Township Moderate Price Housing (MPH) program is a type of affordable housing program created by Ordinance 76-71, as amended. There are currently approximately 150 MPH deed-restricted units. When owners of these properties decide to sell their unit, they must sell their dwelling to a certified income-qualifying household. The Township Community Development Housing Office must qualify the purchasers and approve the resale price, as explained in more detail below. 

For Sellers of MPH Program Units

The Community Development Housing Office provides the seller with the maximum resale value prior to the unit being listed for sale.  If there is a listing agent involved, the Housing Office will work with the listing agent upon receipt of a signed listing agreement. Once an agreement of sale between the seller and certified purchaser is signed, a copy must be forwarded to the Community Development Housing Office. In addition, the proposed deed must be submitted to the Housing Office for approval.  The deed must contain specific language referencing the deed restriction consistent with Uniform Housing Affordability Controls (UHAC) N.J.A.C. 5:80-26.1 et seq.  After closing, a copy of the recorded deed with the Camden County Clerk's Office shall be provided to the Housing Office for its records.

For Applicants Interested in Buying a Deed Restricted Unit under the MPH Program

Currently, applications for potential purchasers of MPH units are being accepted. Download the application (PDF). Applications are reviewed in the order they are received.  The application must include the following applicable materials: copies of last tax return along with the W-2 and all schedules and statements, copies of last 4 consecutive pay stubs, copies of the 3 most recent consecutive bank account statements, copies of all pension forms, IRAs, CDs, bonds, and any other income statements. The applicant will be notified of application status and program eligibility within 4-6 weeks of submission. If deemed approved, the applicant will be placed on the waitlist in the order of approval and/or directed to a unit matching their household size, if one is currently available. NOTE: Applications are reviewed for the program itself, not for a particular unit or listing, as there is a waitlist for the program.
