Affordable Housing

Ascension Capital Partners Siree Morris and Ryan Curran broke ground on two affordable three-family homes last week.

Last week, a ribbon-cutting was held in Newark to celebrate the completion of a large-scale affordable housing rehabilitation project.

Last year, Jersey Digs reported that a residential development could be coming to the site of the Academy360 Lower School on the border of Verona and Montclair. Now, plans for a 200-unit project at the site could advance.

Developers in Irvington plan to convert a long-vacant parcel of land into a 56-unit affordable housing building.

Jersey Digs has learned new information about a plan to renovate and vertically expand a Downtown Newark building.

Yet another development could be built near the Liberty State Park light rail station in Jersey City. The planning board is scheduled to hear the proposal today, Tuesday, November 12, at 5:30 p.m.

The proposed 20-bedroom facility on University Avenue could be approved tonight.

The Jelliff Senior Estates development is expected to bring 51 apartments for senior citizens to a site in Newark’s Clinton Hill neighborhood. It could be partially funded by Superstorm Sandy relief funds.

A developer is planning 300 units in Hopewell Township, Mercer County. 48 of the units would reportedly be reserved for "low and moderate-income households."

Two community associations have penned a letter opposing the 2,360-unit plan, while two other groups support the proposal due to affordable housing and public benefits that are included.
