The Gordon H. Mansfield Veterans Community, named after a veteran who won a Purple Heart, has 70 units of supportive housing for veterans with different income levels, including homeless veterans and veterans who have been homeless. WinnCompanies, an award-winning owner, manager, and developer of multifamily housing, and Soldier On, Inc., a non-profit that serves homeless veterans, partnered to develop the community. 70 one-bedroom apartments are available to a range of income levels: 18 units designated for individuals earning up to 30 % of Area Median Income (AMI); 24 units at 50% of AMI; 10 units at 60% of AMI, and 18 units at 80% AMI. It offers convenient access to the Garden State Parkway and N.J. State Routes 33 and 66. In addition, the Jersey Shore Premium Outlets, a Walmart Supercenter, and the Twin Brook Golf Center are walkable. Although the community has 178 surface parking spaces, free of charge, for residents, visitors, and service providers, Soldier On provides complimentary on-demand shuttle service for residents.  The project created a stretch of new sidewalk along Essex Road, filling in a pedestrian connectivity gap and allowing residents to safely traverse from the community and neighboring senior housing facility and to neighborhood amenities. The Gordon H. Mansfield Veterans Community was named Monmouth County Planning Board’s Project of the Year in 2022. It also won the NJ Future 2022 Smart Growth Award and the 2022 Governor’s Excellence in Housing and Economic Development Award from the New Jersey Governor’s Conference on Housing and Economic Development.​
