Project Freedom at Lawrence is located off Princeton Avenue, near what is known as the Brunswick Circle in Lawrence Township. Directly across the street in easy rolling/walking distance is a Quick Chek with a gas station, McDonald’s, Pet Smart, and a liquor store as well as a medical service building. The intersection of Route 206 is a few blocks north leading to Rider College and Princeton. Major malls and I-95/I-295 are within 15 minutes driving time. A New Jersey Transit bus stop for the 606 line is located near the entrance for easy connection to other community businesses. There are two shopping centers within a half mile, the Capital Plaza and the Lawrence Shopping Center, as well as a farmers market to provide ample shopping opportunities.
Project Freedom at Lawrence consists of a Community Center with 44 one-bedroom apartments and 10 two-bedroom apartments scattered in nine buildings on ten acres of land. Each apartment is designed for people who use wheelchairs or have other disability-related needs. There is also a community center that has administrative and maintenance offices along with a larger great room for tenant activities.
This LIHTC property is among the most common types of affordable rental housing in the United States. The LIHTC program only provides subsidies to the building’s owner at construction. No subsidies are provided directly to the residents, but the owner must set rents affordable to low-income renters in the area. Our data suggests Project Freedom at Lawrence does not participate in any project-based rent subsidy program. This means you must earn enough to pay the full rent or have your own Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher. For that reason, LIHTC properties tend to have shorter waiting lists or even none at all. LIHTC properties nationwide are required to accept housing vouchers. LIHTC properties were first built in the late 1980's. Because they tend to be newer, these properties are more likely to have larger units, more amenities, and greater tenant service offerings than other affordable housing programs. This property might be right for you if you have a housing voucher or enough income to pay rent, are looking for a high quality property, or need immediate availability. Since this property participates in the LIHTC program, the property is required to accept Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers. As a LIHTC property that chose the 20/50 election, this property has agreed to set aside at least 20% of its units for families and individuals earning 50% of Area Median Income (AMI). Many of these properties have actually set aside more units than required by law, and in many cases all of the units at these properties are affordable to renters with very low incomes.
