Greater Middlesex & Morris Habitat for Humanity is inviting New Jersey residents to apply for two newly constructed, affordable single-family homes in the White Meadow Lake section of Rockaway Township, Morris County. This opportunity represents a rare chance for low- and moderate-income families to secure modern, energy-efficient housing in a highly desirable area of northern New Jersey.
The homes, designed with contemporary family living in mind, will feature two stories, offering three or four bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a private garage. Both residences will carry ENERGY STAR certification, ensuring energy efficiency and reduced utility costs for future homeowners. The thoughtfully planned layouts are ideal for families seeking comfort, functionality, and long-term affordability in one of New Jersey’s sought-after communities.
Sale prices are structured to accommodate qualifying applicants, with homes available between $195,000 for low-income families and $225,000 for moderate-income families. To be eligible, applicants must meet income requirements based on household size. For instance, families meeting the low-income threshold will generally need a minimum annual income of around $50,000, while moderate-income households will need approximately $80,000.
Prospective homeowners must attend a mandatory information session, available either virtually or in person, before submitting an application. These sessions provide essential details about the homeownership process, eligibility, and financial counseling, helping applicants understand the responsibilities and benefits of Habitat’s program. All completed applications must be submitted by Friday, October 31, 2025, at 5 p.m.
This initiative is part of Habitat for Humanity’s broader mission to provide safe, affordable housing options to New Jersey families. Local Habitat affiliates tailor programs to meet regional needs, so requirements and home availability vary across the state. For example, Raritan Valley Habitat for Humanity recently accepted pre-applications for two duplex units in Whitehouse Station, holding a drawing on September 22, while Habitat for Humanity Salem County concluded applications on September 12, 2025.
Interested applicants are encouraged to visit the Greater Middlesex & Morris Habitat for Humanity website to register for information sessions and review full eligibility guidelines. This program continues to demonstrate Habitat’s commitment to strengthening communities and supporting New Jersey families in achieving sustainable homeownership.
With limited homes available and a growing demand for affordable housing, this Rockaway Township opportunity is one that prospective homeowners should explore promptly. Families can take advantage of modern, cost-efficient homes while becoming part of a community-focused initiative designed to enhance quality of life across the region.
