Sherrill Attends Ribbon Cutting for Green Affordable Housing Development, After Securing Millions In Federal Funding for the Project

LIVINGSTON, NJ — Yesterday, Representative Mikie Sherrill attended the ribbon cutting ceremony for The Forum at Madison, a first-of-its-kind energy-efficient affordable housing project in New Jersey—which received over $2 million in Community Project Funding in FY2023.

These 44 rental apartments are not only affordable, they are also a landmark for clean energy in the Garden State. This is the first multi-family affordable housing development in New Jersey to meet Passive House and Net Zero Energy standards. That means lower utility bills for families, reduced carbon emissions, and a healthier, more resilient community.

“Projects like this don’t happen in a vacuum. They happen because of strong local leadership, deep collaboration, and a shared commitment to ensure families in our community have a place to call home,” said Rep. Sherrill. “’I’m proud that we were able to bring back New Jerseyans’ hard-earned tax dollars to secure funding for this Community Project. Housing that is affordable plays a crucial role in easing the financial burden on middle-class families, making it possible for them to keep more of what they’ve earned and invest in their futures."
