Princeton Community Housing Gets Outstanding Community Award

PRINCETON, NJ - Princeton Community Housing was recently awarded the Outstanding Project Award from the Housing and Community Development Network of New Jersey.

They received the award in the Healthy Homes and Communities category for the construction of the Jim and Fannie Floyd House at Princeton Community Village, completed in 2023.

The award seeks to recognize member organizations that are increasing the supply of homes that residents can afford and are effectively addressing widespread issues that impact the health of neighborhoods and residents.

The Jim and Fannie Floyd House was constructed in August 2023 and it added 25 new rental homes to the Princeton Community Village neighborhood.

The building has one-, two-, three-, and four-bedroom units for very low-, low-, and moderate-income families and individuals.

The new building was also constructed to meet or exceed Enterprise Green standards, which aligns with the Municipality’s goals of sustainability.

The all-electric new building is also constructed on an existing surface parking area, thereby preserving valuable woodlands and watershed areas.

The award was presented to Princeton Community Housing representatives at the annual Community Development Conference and Membership Meeting “Under One Roof: Empowering People & Places” held in New Brunswick on Oct. 29.
