The Camden Redevelopment Agency and the City of Camden Department of Development and Planning work closely with other city, county and state agencies on an ongoing basis to ensure the best possible coordination of development and service activities. In addition, the following state agencies are particularly important public-sector partners because of the policy leadership, staff support, technical assistance and funding resources that they provide.
Housing Authority of the City of Camden (HACC) Due to the substantial investments in the improvement of public housing residences and facilities that are planned or under way, coordination of CRA and HACC activities will be particularly important in the coming years. One high-priority area of activity is public investment in and around HOPE VI-funded ventures that involve the demolition of obsolete public housing complexes and the development of mixed-income communities combining newly developed public housing with other rental and sales housing units and neighborhood amenities.
