McCoy Place

The Alpert Group developed McCoy Place to meet the critical need in Bergen County for permanent, supportive and affordable housing for people with disabilities. McCoy Place is a 40-unit apartment community in the Borough of Franklin Lakes. The design of McCoy Place incorporates special accessibility features that promote ease of living and enable residents to live independently and age in place. All public spaces are handicapped accessible and include entrance ramps, wide hallways and doors. Additionally, the 20 apartments on the first floor are fully handicapped accessible. The community includes an apartment for a live-in manager, offices for property management and social service staff, and a community building exclusively for resident use with space for recreation, education and social programs. All residents have access to individualized case management and linkages to supportive services. The Housing Authority of Bergen County provides project-based rental assistance which makes the apartments affordable to people with very low incomes. McCoy Place was a recipient of the Supportive Housing Project of the Year Award from the Supportive Housing Association of New Jersey in 2018.
