Partnership in Camden Creates Homeownership Opportunities
New affordable homes are being constructed on the site of a once-vacant lot in Camden through a partnership between the Parkside Business & Community in Partnership (PBCIP) and New Jersey American Water. Nine new homes and one renovated house will soon be available for purchase by first-time homebuyers.
“It’s definitely critical because so many of our neighbors, our friends, our family are in dire need to buy something that will grow wealth for their family,” said Miosha Lawrence, Homeownership Coordinator at PBCIP.
Camden City Council President Angel Fuentes said, “This is unique, and this is different … and we want people to know that there is still hope. That we believe in affordable housing … and we still have people in need.”
