Warren County Habitat for Humanity filed a site plan with the county for a project called Franklin Village. It would add six homes along Route 57 in Franklin Township. Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit that builds homes for sale to lower-income families.
Public pages describe Franklin Village as three duplex buildings, which adds up to six homes. A July 2026 local news item reported a ribbon-cutting for three duplexes serving six families. That item gave no street address, so it is not certain that it covers the same Route 57 plan. A township page also describes a separate three-duplex phase for moderate-income buyers. Its purpose is to help the township meet its state affordable-housing obligation.
No opposition was found. The records did not say what is on the site now.
What it could mean nearby
- Six new homes would be added to the Route 57 corridor, with a township page stating the homes are meant for moderate-income buyers.

Where it stands
The county filing from June 2025 is a site plan. A July 2026 news item reports a ribbon-cutting for Franklin Village, so construction may be complete. The sources do not confirm that this is the same Route 57 plan. Where a plan is still pending, the township planning board normally reviews it next, and construction permits follow approval.
