Elwyn Plans to Relocate Administrators, Free Up Space on Main Campus for Care Programs

By

With the ultimate goal of freeing up space on its main campus in Middletown Township to use for care programs rather than administrative functions, Elwyn aims to build a 53,000-square-foot building on Camden’s waterfront to house administrative staff, writes Jacob Adelman for The Philadelphia Inquirer.

The human services nonprofit will receive $3.9 million a year in tax credits for 10 years from the New Jersey Economic Development Authority, and that will cover the building’s construction costs, nearly $40 million, according to Elwyn’s vice president for corporate real estate, Jeremy Sunkett.

“We have an important mission to serve children and adults with disabilities, and we have a strategic plan that calls for growth in the Delaware Valley,” said Elwyn CEO Charles McLister.

The building would be constructed on a vacant parcel owned by Liberty Property Trust and would house about 200 staffers.

In turn, a portion of Elwyn’s 270-acre main campus property may go up for sale, as less space is needed for programs than in the past because of an industry-wide trend of eschewing institutional housing for service recipients in favor of home-based care.
