Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

NJDH proposes to partner with an experienced NJ Developer to renovate Building 24 at the Katzenbach School for the Deaf in Ewing NJ into independent living apartments for Deaf, deafblind, Hard of Hearing and late deafened adults. At present Building 24, a former dormitory, is vacant.

NJDH has partnered with Triple C Housing and presented a proposal in December, 2021, to the NJ Department of Education to obtain a long term lease on Building 24 at Katzenbach School for the Deaf in Ewing, NJ. Once the long term lease is granted, both NJDH and Triple C Housing will work together to obtain funding from Federal and State agencies to renovate Building 24 into independent apartments in a supportive development. All environmental and disability requirements will be adhered to with the addition of specialized technology to assist people with communication needs.

NJDH has successfully developed a partnership with Triple C Housing. Triple C Housing is a NJ developer experienced in developing supportive housing.

A proposal has been prepared and sent to the NJ Department of Education in December, 2021. A long term lease has been requested in this proposal. NJDH has informal information that the proposal will be favorably accepted.
