Bon Jovi attended the groundbreaking for the project this week with Newark Mayor Cory Booker and New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine. The singer's Philadelphia Soul Charitable Foundation is contributing about $1 million, while Newark and New Jersey are bankrolling the bulk of the cost for the 51-unit project, called Genesis Apartments, the Newark Star-Ledger reported.
"I am thrilled," the Star-Ledger quoted Booker as saying. "I am 10 feet tall today. This is a powerful statement to show America what Newark is all about today."
The project is expected to be finished in the fall of 2009.
At least a quarter of the units will be occupied by people who are currently being treated for HIV/AIDS by a Newark organization managed by University of Medicine & Dentistry of New Jersey, the newspaper said.
The rest of the apartments will be available to residents who make between $17,730 and $43,900 a year.
