Also present from the Alliance was the COO, Derrick Griggs, along with several Directors and staff members.

“We’re very honored to be part of this project,” said Derrick Griggs, COO of the Affordable Housing Alliance. “It makes us happy to bring, once again, viable affordable housing to Millstone Township, as we look forward to making similar housing options available throughout the County.”

The total cost for the project was $1.2 million, which was funded by HUD, through the Federal Housing Trust fund, and TD Bank.

The development offers (one) 1-bedroom unit, (two) 2-bedrooms units, and (one) 3-bedroom units, which are all handicap adaptable.
