For Release: October 5, 2026

East Windsor Mayor Janice S. Mironov announced that project developer Community Investment Strategies (CIS) is now accepting preliminary applications for The Place at East Windsor, a new 56-unit income-restricted housing community in East Windsor. Preliminary applications will be accepted through October 26. Information packets and preliminary applications are available at the East Windsor Township Municipal Building, 16 Lanning Boulevard, and the East Windsor Township Senior Center, 40 Lanning Boulevard.

Mayor Mironov urged local residents who may qualify to submit a preliminary application, stating, “While New Jersey law does not allow a residency restriction, this provides a great opportunity for local residents, through the process, to receive consideration for an affordable unit here in East Windsor. Senior citizens seeking to remain in the community, young people who were raised here and are starting out with limited incomes, locally employed teachers and first responders, and local families who may qualify should obtain and submit a Preliminary Application. The process is very simple and represents the initial step to be entered for consideration and possible selection to occupy this brand-new housing community.”

Mayor Mironov noted, “The project developer and operator, Community Investment Strategies, is a highly experienced, award-winning firm specializing in affordable housing communities throughout New Jersey.”

Following the October 26 preliminary application period, a randomized lottery will be held to determine each household’s order on the applicant list. Households will then be provided with a full application to be processed to determine eligibility. Rents are based on household income, and income, credit and other eligibility requirements apply.

The Place at East Windsor offers a variety of floor plans designed to accommodate different household needs. Each apartment includes high-efficiency central heating and air conditioning, luxury vinyl flooring, ceramic-tiled bathrooms, a dishwasher, refrigerator, range, and washer and dryer hookups. The Place at East Windsor is a 100% smoke-free community.
