• Camden County builds 60-unit supportive housing complex unsheltered residents (whyy.org) — A new $22 million, 60-unit supportive housing complex is rising on County House Road in Blackwood, aiming to open by mid-2026 and significantly reduce homelessness in Camden County. Residents will get up to two years in studio apartments plus on-site help with health care, addiction treatment, job searches, and finding permanent housing, all under a housing-first approach that doesn’t require sobriety before entry.
