A plan to help and house homeless veterans on a Barnegat Township site recently got some new life as it has received nonprofit 501(c) status.

It was last year when Martin Weber announced his intention to establish Jeff’s Camp, which is dedicated to Weber’s former long-time partner, Jeff Poissant. He died in 2017 at age 56 after a battle with cancer. The two men met in the late 1980s while both were in the U.S. Army stationed in Germany, then became business and life partners for three decades.
