CONSTRUCTION
Pennrose and the Gloucester County Housing Authority cut the ribbon Wednesday on The Village at Harmony Garden, a 64-unit affordable housing development on the 10-acre site of the former Ellis Manor public housing project in Glassboro, New Jersey. The project will be supported by project-based vouchers from GHA.
Built in a series of one-story, cottage-style buildings, most of the units will be restricted to tenants aged 55 years and up, with 13 set aside for adults of any age with developmental and intellectual disabilities. New Jersey nonprofit PennReach will provide referrals to fill those 13 units and the four units restricted to seniors with developmental disabilities, as well as on-site supportive services.
