Politicians And Affordable Housing Advocates Take A Bus Tour To Check Out Affordable Housing In Monmouth County

The tour Thursday was put together by The Monmouth Advocacy Team and The Monmouth County Association of Realtors.

The goal of the event was to bring people together to educate municipal, county and state leaders as well as civic organizations and the public about housing needs and opportunities in Monmouth County.

The organizers also wanted to foster discussion about responsible housing design and development in order to dispel myths that limit housing choices in communities.

The tour included six single family detached dwellings in Freehold Borough, condominiums in the Belford section of Middletown, senior apartments in the Navasink section of Middletown and condominiums in Eatontown.

The tour was based on three successful bus tours conducted by the Morris County Housing Alliance.

The Housing and Community Development Network of New Jersey is planning a dozen tours around the state that showcase community economic development efforts and the impacts they are having in these localities.
