East Brunswick’s Low Income Housing Gets $25K Senior Service Grant

EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ — A low-income housing property recently received a grant for service coordination and supportive services to low-income seniors, U.S. Senators Bob Menendez and Cory Booker (D-NJ) announced.

The National Church Residences of East Brunswick received $25,114 under the FY 2023 Service Coordinator in Multifamily Housing and Congregate Housing Services programs. Through the funds, seniors can avail wellness, transportation, and other supportive services.

The funds are aimed at promoting health and wellness to support senior residents as they age in place in an independent housing setting.

"The COVID-19 pandemic exposed just how critical supportive services are for our seniors. These federal funds will help New Jersey’s HUD-assisted properties provide health, wellness, transportation, and other supportive services so seniors can age in place and enjoy healthier, more fulfilling lives,” Menendez said in a statement.

"Every American deserves safety and support as they age,” Booker said. “This federal investment will help provide supportive services to low-income seniors living in public housing throughout our state to ensure their health and well-being."

A total of $2,017,856 was distributed across NJ's HUD- multifamily properties to help the seniors.
