In an ongoing effort to relocate victims of Hurricane Sandy along the New Jersey coast, a new low-cost modular home program for residents who cannot afford to rebuild has been announced by the Eatontown-based Affordable Housing Alliance. Eligible for federal funding, gmnews.com reports the Bayshore Bungalows would range from 700 to 1,600 square feet, be elevated above flood levels, compliant with building codes and begin at $150,000. Featuring high ceilings, energy efficient HVAC systems with an enclosed garage and exterior stairs to ground level, the one or two-story units, by Champion Homes, can be ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) accessible and ready for occupancy within 120 days. MHProNews.com has learned many people, some living in substandard conditions 19 months after the storm, are on the state’s $1 billion Reconstruction, Rehabilitation, Elevation and Mitigation (RREM) program waiting list. ##
