Solutions for Foreclosures

Garden State Episcopal CDC is creating housing solutions for municipalities. We are repurposing foreclosures as mixed income housing with half the subsidy of new construction. For just $50,000 of subsidy per unit we can acquire, rehab and complete a sale in just 7.5 months. This is compared to $100,000 in subsidy for new construction and a 2 year timeline. We work fast turning eyesore and liabilities into neighborhood assets, stabilizing property values and building a strong base for new comps. Our average per unit cost is $165,000 compared to $250,000 per unit for new construction. From 2010 to 2013, we rehabbed 13 foreclosures in Jersey City creating 26 units with a $4 million investment. Those homes generated $3 million in mortgage activity and $1.5 million in construction contracts that went to local contractors. Moving forward, we are rehabbing 27 units with $6 million. We are "Building Strong Communities." To find out more about GSECDC please visit: http://gsecdc.org/about-us/

The Weber Briar Project is Underway

Location:134-142 Cator Ave and 33-39 New Street, Jersey City, NJ

Budget:$3.552M

Project Plans

Weber Friar Concept

This project involves the acquisition, demolition of existing building and new construction of nine (9) two family homes for a total of 18 units. Each of the 2,600 square foot homes will sell for $195,000 and would be affordable to families earning a minimum of $31,000 annual or at 46% of the AMI.

The homes will be sold to low to moderate income buyers who will rent the rental unit to a low/moderate income family. The owner’s unit would be on the second level with three bedrooms and two baths, with garage parking on the first level.  The rental unit will be a 2 bedroom apartment, located on the first floor.  We are proposing roughly gross square footage of 2600 per home.  Other amenities include spacious living room, formal dining room, ample closet space, hard wood floors.  Kitchen features include Energy Star appliances that include stainless steel gas oven/range with range hood, stainless steel refrigerator, stainless steel dishwasher and easy clean laminated kitchen counter-tops.  The homes will have central heating and ventilation and hook ups for washer and dryer.   All homes will have backyards and a ten-year New Home Owner Warranty.
