In updating a story we first posted Feb. 7, 2013, myfoxny informs MHProNews, 17 modular homes have been acquired by the Affordable Housing Alliance in Eatontown, NJ with $1 million donated by the Robin Hood Foundation. Originally, Robin Hood had distributed $45 million of $67 million raised, including funds from the 12/12/12 rock concert, mostly going to survivors of Hurricane Sandy who had been rendered homeless. The modular homes will be occupied by low-income residents who lost their homes or apartments in the hurricane, and will be sited at an existing land lease community in Eatontown.
