JERSEY CITY, NJ-Ground was broken this week for the Harriet Tubman Townhouses, an eight-unit affordable housing complex on Martin Luther King Jr. The developer is Eagle Rock Development LLC of West Paterson, NJ, and the complex is the first to be built in this city under the New Jersey Housing & Mortgage Finance Agency’s “Choice” affordable housing program.

“October was National Affordable Housing Month, so it was a great time to break ground,” says Jersey City Mayor Jerramiah Healy. “This development will give the people of Jersey City, working class people, an opportunity to get their piece of the American dream.”
