A Camden nonprofit was surprised Thursday with $240,950 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to provide safe housing to victims of domestic violence and a couple of homeless people.
The federal housing officials were in town to tour sites such as Cooper Plaza, the Ferry Avenue Library, and Hope VI projects in the Centerville neighborhood as they get ready to invest more resources into urban communities. Camden is at the top of the list, said Adoldo Carrion Jr., New York and New Jersey region administrator for the department.
