The first award to Ingerman in the amount of $525,000 will assist in the development of The Residences at Symphony Hall, a 4-story, 60-unit affordable rental community located in Newark, Essex County, New Jersey. Approved through the 2016 Affordable Housing Program (AHP), this project will contain 20 one-bedroom and 40 two-bedroom low-income units. Fifteen units will be allocated for residents with special needs, six units for individuals with mental illness, and nine for homeless individuals with a disability. The remainder of the units will be marketed to the growing artistic community.

The second Federal Home Loan Bank AHP sponsorship of $355,000 will be utilized in the development of The Willows at Westampton project, a 72-unit affordable multi-family rental community located within the Township of Westampton, Burlington County, New Jersey. This project consists of six three-story residential buildings and one stand-alone community building. The Willows at Westampton will also contain five special needs units to be utilized by formerly homeless individuals.
