Council extends contract with Central Jersey Housing Resource Center for affordable‑housing services, $66,000 year‑three cap
Summary
The council voted to extend a contract with the Central Jersey Housing Resource Center as affordable‑housing consultant/administrative agent for year three, not to exceed $66,000; roll call showed all yes votes except one abstention.
The Franklin Township Council adopted Resolution 25518 on Dec. 9 to extend a competitive contract with the Central Jersey Housing Resource Center (CJHRC) to serve as consultant and administrative agent for affordable‑housing work for a third year, with a not‑to‑exceed amount of $66,000.
The motion was moved and seconded and the clerk polled the council for a roll‑call vote. The recorded votes were: Councilwoman Francois — yes; Councilman Karazzi — yes; Mayor Kramer — yes; Councilman Nichaka — yes; Deputy Mayor Reddine — yes; Councilman Vasinella — abstain; Councilman Wright — yes. The motion carried with one abstention.
Why it matters: CJHRC provides administrative support and program management that the council said is important to advancing affordable‑housing initiatives and applicant outreach. One councilmember noted ongoing housing affordability pressures in New Jersey and cited planned community seminars and a longer‑term build‑out horizon.
What happens next: The contract extension allows CJHRC to continue its services into the next contract year; council stated it will hold further public information sessions in spring to update residents on available units and application procedures.
