Camden Lutheran Housing wants to build 15 affordable single-family homes at the former site of the West Jersey Paper Manufacturing Company.

A view of the site of the former West Jersey Paper manufacturing site in North Camden, in the shadow of the Ben Franklin Bridge. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced a $1 million grant August 29, 2024 to the nonprofit Camden Lutheran Housing Inc. for cleanup of the contamination of the property, which will become 15 affordable single family homes.

“This project is a longstanding and ongoing collaboration among partners including the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, the New Jersey Economic Development Authority, Camden County and the City of Camden,” Brandi T. Johnson, Camden Lutheran Housing Inc. Executive Director said in a statement.

The lot is surrounded by residential housing with a child care facility, grocery store and a public park nearby. It slopes toward the Delaware River, less than one-quarter mile away, and is designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency to be in a flood hazard area.
