EDISON, NJ — The de- velopment of affordable and supportive housing can serve

affordable apartment-rental communities. In Central New Jersey, Heritage Village at Lawrence was the first affordable senior housing community intro- duced to address a surging demand among the area’s 55+ population. Once the town- ship acquired a key piece of property, a distressed motel, automotive garage and home fronting an ailing portion of the Business Rte. 1 commer- cial/residential corridor, local officials partnered with CIS and The Eagle Group. “The township saw this as a unique opportunity to enhance the area’s mix of uses and worked diligently to ensure their vi- sion became a reality,” said Reed. The project employed a col- laborative, hands-on approach between the developer; local, state and federal agencies; and area civic groups and organi- zations. “We decided from the start to create relationships with service providers like Greater Trenton Behavioral Healthcare, who already work with at-risk populations in the area and could refer clients to our community,” she said. The end result of CIS’ ef- forts was Heritage Village at Lawrence, a $17.5 million mixed-use redevelopment consisting of affordable senior housing with ground-floor retail. ■
