Rivergrove Family Apartments Groundbreaking
Eastern Pacific Development, in collaboration with the Cumberland Empowerment Zone and Gateway Community Action Partnership, is planning a ground-breaking event for the River Grove Apartments, 68 affordable residential rental properties in the Southeast Gateway Neighborhood in the City of Bridgeton on Wednesday, July 31 at 11 a.m.
The event will be held at the recently completed community center, 44 Spruce St., Bridgeton, and was the first step in the 68-unit, River Grove Apartments that include 34 duplexes all containing three-bedroom apartments, 52 units will have attached garages. The project includes 40 rental units subsidized by project-based rental or operating subsidy provided by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the remaining 28 units will be rented at market rates.
Financing for the project will be generated through New Jersey Housing Mortgage Financing Authority Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program. USDA has also committed a $3 million Permanent Loan, at an interest rate of one (1%) percent per annum, amortizing over a 33-year term. In addition, the City of Bridgeton has provided a Payment in Lieu of Taxes, a PILOT, at five (5%) percent per annum.
The Project is located in the Southeast Gateway Neighborhood, a low-income census tract in which the median family income, $22,027, is 41% of the median income for the Metropolitan Statistical Area (“MSA”) that includes Cumberland County.
The designated redeveloper for the Project is Eastern Pacific Development. With more than 25 years in the business of development and construction, Eastern Pacific Development, the Developer, and Brookfield Construction, the General Contractor, both of which are solely owned and managed by Hans Lampart, have been successfully developing, building and operating affordable housing for senior citizens, as well as families. Both companies founded by Lampart, specialize in the highest quality affordable housing and apartment complexes for seniors. Eastern Pacific and Brookfield look forward to working with communities on the benefits and needs of affordable housing, which can often utilize some of the community’s older, and often, deteriorated buildings and apartment complexes.
Construction funding is being provided by a construction loan from TD Bank and Equity from Enterprise Community Investment, Inc.
Since its inception in 1999, the Cumberland Empowerment Zone Corporation (Co-Developer) has helped attract more than $270 million in public and private funding for the advancement of companies and their employees and for the preservation of communities and their neighborhoods.
By supporting local businesses and economic development projects directly with initial investments now surpassing more than $27 million, the Cumberland Empowerment Zone Corporation program continues to be recognized as one of the most successful Empowerment Zones in the nation.
The Cumberland Empowerment Zone Corporation committed its support to Gateway Community Action Partnership 12 years ago toward the revitalization of the Southeast Gateway neighborhood of which the River Grove Apartments’ project is a component of that effort.
Tri-County Community Action Agency, Inc., (T/A Gateway Community Action Partnership (Gateway CAP)) (Co-Developer) is a 501(c)(3) entity and is the federally designated Community Action Partnership for Cumberland, Gloucester, and Salem counties in southern New Jersey. Gateway CAP operates programs in six core areas: child care, health services, literacy, housing, nutrition/education, and social services serving more than 50,000 clients annually in not only Cumberland, Gloucester, and Salem counties, but Atlantic, Cape May, Camden, Mercer counties (southern New Jersey), as well as, Philadelphia. Our signature programs: Head Start and WIC are the largest programs of their type in New Jersey.
Recognizing a need for affordable and amenable housing for migrant families Gateway CAP was inspired to co-develop the River Grove Apartments, in partnership with Eastern Pacific Development and the Cumberland Empowerment Zone. The vision expanded to include meeting the affordable housing need of Bridgeton’s low-income families. The Southeast Gateway neighborhood was ideally targeted as the River Grove Apartments’ location as a substantial part of the revitalization effort that was initiated in 2005 through financial support from Wachovia Regional Foundation, now Wells Fargo Regional Foundation.

Dedication of Gateway's Healthy Food Express Bus 8-24-17
On Aug. 24, 2017, Gateway Community Action Partnership formally launched the new Healthy Food Express - Bridgeton’s Mobile Feeding Bus, a summer feeding program that will help nourish hungry area youngsters. The bus is made possible, in part, by a generous grant from the OceanFirst Foundation, which will present a check for $10,000 during the ceremonial event. The Healthy Food Express summer feeding program is aimed at plugging the food insecurity gap when children are out of school during the summer months. When schools close in the summer months and during winter and spring break periods, many of the county’s neediest children are left without enough food to eat. The Healthy Food Express summer feeding pro-gram will bring healthy, nutritious meals to these children. These meals will be delivered to congregate feeding sites such as churches, schools and civic buildings. In instances where no facilities are available, children will be permitted to eat their meals aboard the bus or on outside tables and chairs

2016 Summer Youth Feeding Program
Bridgeton at-risk residents need food. Bridgeton needs youth willing to become the future leaders of our community. Gateway Community Action Partnership, through the funding of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, is currently operating a pilot program that addresses both.
In the "Bridgeton Youth: Helping to Feed, Learning to Lead" program, teenagers are going door-to-door in the city to provide information about federal programs that provide free food to children and adolescents during the summer and where to get the food. The goal is to more than double the number of residents who applied last year to 2,000. The actions of the teenagers, dressed in their white or green T-shirts displaying the program name, increase the chance that residents will receive the nutrition they need. They are also helping with meals at feeding sites.
While the nutritional aspect is extremely important, developing the youth as leaders is a key aspect of the program. Through their daily activities, the guidance of adult team leaders, and team building activities, the youth are learning new skills, gaining confidence and becoming aware of the issues facing their community.
As part of the program, the youth spent a weekend in June at Camp Okanickon in Medford receiving training in leadership and community organizing.
There is interest in expanding this program to other communities in New Jersey.
Albert B. Kelly, Gateway's President and CEO and the Mayor of Bridgeton, addressed the youth on the first day of the program, stressing the importance of this initiative.
"I want to show the state that this is something we are taking seriously," Kelly said. "We all know people in our community who do not have enough food to eat. They go to school hoping to get decent meals. But when school is out, they don't have that opportunity. We want to be sure they get decent meals. People outside of Bridgeton believe in what we are trying to do here. I want you to believe in it, also."
