These investments will help residents remain safely and securely in their homes while protecting the long-term stability and affordability of our neighborhoods.

Thank you, M&T Bank Charitable Foundation, for investing in healthy homes, stronger neighborhoods, and a more stable future for Camden families!

Saint Joseph’s Carpenter Society proudly hosted our annual State of East Camden community gathering as part of NeighborWorks Week

Residents, community partners, and local leaders came together to celebrate the progress happening throughout East Camden and hear updates on neighborhood projects, revitalization efforts, and what’s ahead for our community. We were honored to welcome Mayor Victor Carstarphen, Councilman Leyba-Martinez, and other government and community officials who joined the conversation and shared their commitment to Camden’s future.

The evening highlighted the power of collaboration and resident-driven planning as SJCS continues working alongside the community to create healthy, affordable homes, vibrant neighborhoods, and expanded opportunities for Camden families.

Thank you to everyone who attended, shared ideas, and continues to help move East Camden forward!
