Affordable Housing

Jersey City’s planning board unanimously voted against changes that would allow Mack-Cali to shift their project’s required affordable housing to another development they own on Washington Boulevard.

Two companies have teamed up to purchase a sizable chunk of affordable units throughout four buildings that will see some upgrades in the coming years.

The company is requesting changes to a redevelopment plan that would allow them to provide required affordable units at an undisclosed location within one mile of their 57-story high rise.

The city council has signed off on a scheme that would permit Lennar Multifamily Communities to build a tiered high-rise including 41 workforce housing units, a renovated park, and a 50,000-square foot public school.

Officials are working with Lawrenceville-based Community Investment Strategies on a plan to bring a 24-unit senior housing building to a city-owned parking lot.

The city’s council has executed a redevelopment agreement that looks to revitalize the former home of the Universal Folding Box Company.

Plans from a nonprofit to bring a nine-story building to a lot near McGinley Square with 55% affordable housing will be heard soon.

We are deeply disappointed that the Jersey City Council approved a sham inclusionary zoning bill even after hearing four hours of testimony from more than 60 residents and advocates who were opposed.

Jersey City's inclusionary zoning ordinance is a weak piece of legislation, seemingly selling out the public in favor of developer relationships and profits.

The decision caps an eight-year legal battle and will create 56 affordable housing units within four Hoboken properties.
