Middle Township has been awarded a total of $400,000 in grant funding to fuel the Township’s ongoing Housing Rehabilitation Program.  The award, from the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs, was announced by Mayor Christopher Leusner on May 20, 2024.

“We are excited to receive this important funding at a time when low-income property owners are struggling to make ends meet,” Leusner said. “Our housing rehab program has funded dozens of meaningful renovations over the past several years, improving the quality of life for many working-class families and senior citizens on fixed incomes.”

This award will provide funds to rehabilitate approximately 12 low-income housing units within the Township using $200,000 in traditional Small Cities Community Block Grant (CDBG) funds and $200,000 of Lead-Based Paint Remediation & Abatement Funds.
