A ribbon-cutting ceremony joined by New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency Executive Director Charles A. Richman marked the opening of 75 new apartments affordable for residents age 55 and older in Freehold Township. Wemrock Senior Living, Route 33, was developed by PIRHL Developers, LLC.

The building provides one- and two-bedroom apartments for residents earning up to 60% of the area median income. The four-story building also includes five apartments for formerly homeless residents, and five set aside for individuals with disabilities, age 18 years or older coming out of nursing homes to be placed in permanent supportive housing. The development is the first by PIRHL in Monmouth County and its first senior development in New Jersey.

NJHMFA awarded the developer 4% Low Income Housing Tax Credits, which generated $5.3 million in private equity. The agency also provided nearly $12.5 million in construction and permanent financing of which $500,000 came from its Special Needs Housing Trust Fund and $375,000 through its Money Follows the Person Housing Partnership Program, which provides subsidy to nonprofit and for-profit developers to set aside apartments for qualified individuals transitioning from nursing facilities to community settings.

Rents for the one-bedroom apartments range from $322 to $1,090, and from $1,079 to $1,309 for the two-bedroom apartments.  The $18.8 million development also includes a fitness center, laundry rooms, community room, tech lounge, a community garden and several roof-decks.

The New Jersey State Bar Association Military Law and Veterans Affairs Section will present the Col. Sandford “Sandy” Rader Military and Veterans Service Award to attorney Michael Detzky at the 2020 Military Law Symposium on April 8.

The annual event has been held since the early 1990s and was created for active duty military personnel, veterans, the lawyers who represent them and anyone who is interested in learning more about the issues facing them.

Detzky was one of the founders of the Military Law Committee in 1984 and the committee has since become a section of the bar association. Detzky served as one of its first chairs and conceived the Military Law Symposium during the First Gulf War in 1990 to address the legal issues faced by returning active duty, reserve and National Guard personnel.

Detzky served as a Judge Advocate in U.S. Navy Reserve from 1982 until 2103 when he retired as a captain and was awarded the Meritorious Service Medal by President Barack Obama.

Detzky was admitted to the New Jersey Bar in 1978 and has been engaged in the general practice of law at 45 Court St., Freehold, with an emphasis in consumer and business bankruptcy and immigration and nationality law.
