Thank you for your interest in Project Freedom.  Please be aware that Project Freedom rents apartments to people with disabilities.  Project Freedom is not a nursing home, assisted living, a group home, or a medical facility.  Project Freedom does not provide supervision or personal assistance.  Our apartments are administered like any other apartments through a lease.  Applicants must be income eligible to be considered. We have four locations in Mercer County; Robbinsville, Hamilton, Lawrence, and Trenton. We have one location iin construction n Woodstown, Salem County. Currently there are only openings in Trenton, but we are taking Pre-qualifying Applicationss for Woodstown.

People living in our apartments must be able to manage their lives or have services in place to assist them.  Project Freedom does not provide services to individuals. They also must have an annual income under $35,000 to qualify to live in them.  Our apartments are rented through leases, and the lease holder must be of legal age.  Rents are based on individual incomes. If the tenant does not have a Section 8 Housing Voucher, then he/she must be able to afford $600 in rent for a one-bedroom apartment at our Lawrence campus as an example.  The rents vary at Hamilton, Robbinsville, and Trenton. 

Since many people with disabilities require Section 8 vouchers and Medicaid services for support, we warn people who live out of state their eligibility for these programs may be limited by living out of New Jersey.  The state directs services to its citizens first, and Project Freedom has no say or influence in this process.

Project Freedom operates apartments designed for people using wheelchairs.  Federal law gives preference to people who use wheelchairs, but people with other disabilities can and do live in our apartments. Our "target market" is people with disabilities ages 18 to 55 since there are many age-restricted places for seniors, but everyone can apply. We have a waiting list for some units with a low vacancy rate.

Also, because are apartments are funded through Low Income Housing Tax Credits, federal law prohibit Project Freedom from renting to full-time students. This is a policy we cannot change.

We are not taking applications unless the person has a Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher or has an annual income of $21,000. If you think you qualify, please reply back to me with a mailing address.   Again, thank you for your interest.
