The federal housing department gave the township’s residential assistance program a perfect performance score for 2006, putting it among the top 10 percent of the state’s Section 8 housing plans.
Only nine of New Jersey’s 85 programs received the highest ranking from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The agency, through its Section 8 Management Assessment Program, annually evaluates those public housing agencies that administer housing vouchers.
“It’s a nice birthday present,” said Rabbi Meir Hertz, who founded the township’s Section 8 program that celebrated its 30th anniversary in April. “This means all the funding for the program is being properly utilized.”

Lovely.
There is a backhanded compliment if I ever saw one.
How ironic things are. All the people “renting” houses from the Shver and Lakewood gets a perfect score. This is priceless! It seems to me that the Federal Housing Department’s inadequacies start at the very top.
