Affordable Housing Alliance Case Study

In the shore town of Eatontown, NJ, gentrification has made affordable housing increasingly difficult to find for lower-income residents. When the Affordable Housing Alliance (AHA) purchased a manufactured housing park behind the Monmouth Mall, it was faced with the challenge of improving living conditions for residents without increasing their costs. Because utility bills for older units exceeded the cost of rent, the AHA made it their goal to significantly reduce utility costs in newer units while encouraging other existing residents to upgrade to an energy efficient manufactured home.
