Camden Churches Organized
for People (CCOP)


Camden Churches Organized for People or CCOP is a citywide federation of 30 churches working together to improve the quality of life for families in Camden, New Jersey.

For decades, the city of Camden has experienced severe urban blight with a dearth of jobs and businesses and a declining housing market - while poverty and crime increased.

Since 1985, CCOP has united many of Camden's churches to seal over 2,000 vacant buildings and to demolish over 750 hazardous ones. The perseverance and commitment of CCOP to break the cycle of poverty and rebuild the city of Camden has resulted in a $200 million investment into Camden by the State of New Jersey.
