It was nearly a year ago when the proposed Jeff’s Camp: Home for Heroes in Barnegat Township began navigating a change in direction.

Initially, Jeff’s Camp was to be located on 36 acres of land the organizers of the project owned off Route 72 in the westerly area of Barnegat Township. Twenty-four of those acres were be dedicated to providing small homes for veterans; the remaining area would be the site of a medical facility and rehabilitation center.
