Meet Monarch's Staff

One of the keys to Monarch Housing Associates success has been a highly motivated and talented staff. Since the inception in 1990, the staff has committed themselves to working with the Board of Trustees as well as the project sponsors to insure that every possible opportunity for supportive housing can be achieved in New Jersey. Monarch, the sponsors and the tenants of the more than one thousand seven hundred and three (1,703) units of supportive housing could not do without the members of these four dedicated teams.
