Road Map to Financing Supportive Housing in New Jersey

The ‘Road Map to Financing Supportive Housing in New Jersey’ provides developers, service providers, community partners, owners and funders with resources to build supportive housing. There is no single “go-to” source to build and sustain supportive housing. However, this Road Map seeks to identify public funding sources and resources that typically leverage private capital and lending.

To complement the Road Map to Financing Supportive Housing in New Jersey, this session brings participants inside two supportive housing developments, tracing their journey from early concept through completion. Led by Chris Pugliese, Chief Property Development Officer at the Affordable Housing Alliance in Monmouth County, the session breaks down how capital, operating, and service funding streams come together in real projects. 

Both projects spotlighted have supportive housing dedicated to people who were formerly homeless, a (small) 3‑unit project and a (medium) 67‑unit LIHTC development with a 5‑unit supportive set‑aside. The session includes dedicated time for Q&A with the hope this can inform future supportive housing efforts across the state.
