Findings in Camden County

The FY2026 report certifies a new program, Project Graduation, at 1,605.00 funded and spent, recipient the Winslow Township School District (pp4 to 5). It gives the intended impact as dangers of opioid use and training on use of naloxone, reports 200 naloxone kits distributed and 250 people served, and lists its Schedule B strategies as Connections to Care, Prevent Misuse of Opioids and Training. Its procurement answer is Venue for Project Graduation (p6). The 1,605.00 is Dave and Buster's purchase order 26-01569, check 1613 of 06/10/2026, for 25 additional participants at the Winslow High School graduation party, 11:00 PM to 2:30 AM on 06/18/2026. The account paid no school district, and through 08/25/2026 it shows no naloxone purchase and no payment to a trainer for the event. The money bought arcade admission. It did not buy naloxone training or kits. No listed use covers an arcade party.

The FY2024 report certifies 70,933.36 of settlement funds received since 2022 (p1, Q3). It certifies 0.00 expended, 0.00 appropriated or encumbered and 0.00 of administrative expenses for 07/01/2023 to 06/30/2024 (Q6 to Q8). It then certifies 0.00 of unspent and uncommitted funds on hand (Q9). Account G-02-00-745-002 paid nothing from its opening on 04/27/2023 until 09/25/2025. One year later the FY2025 report certifies 74,016.85 on hand, again with 0.00 spent. A town that received 70,933.36 and spent and committed none of it did not hold 0.00. The report contradicts itself by the full 70,933.36.

The FY2026 report covers 07/01/2025 to 06/30/2026. It certifies 100,535.87 received since 2022 and 5,000.00 spent (p1), 0.00 appropriated or encumbered and not yet spent, and 87,649.42 of unspent and uncommitted money the Borough currently has on hand (p2). It lists one program, the Annual Department Wellness Training Program, at 5,000.00 (p7). The Borough's settlement account, G-02-800-101, printed 08/24/2026, starts from a modified budget of 98,054.42. It paid check 8716 for 5,000.00 to Jennifer Kelly PhD LLC on 04/20/2026, leaving 93,054.42 at 06/30/2026. On 08/17/2026 it paid seven checks for the 2026 National Night Out, 9105, 9106, 9151, 9099, 9100, 9172 and 9092, totaling 5,405.00, leaving 87,649.42. The certified on hand figure is that 08/24/2026 balance to the cent. It deducts 10,405.00 of payments while the report lists 5,000.00 of spending and no other program. The report's own figures, 100,535.87 received less 5,000.00 spent, give 95,535.87, which is 7,886.45 more than it certifies. That gap is the 5,405.00 of National Night Out checks plus 2,481.45 of receipts the account budget leaves out.

The FY2026 report certifies 62,559.47 received between 07/01/2025 and 06/30/2026, 93.84 of interest, 259,680.10 received since 2022 and 26,005.45 spent (page 1). It certifies 0.00 encumbered and 296,234.12 of unspent and uncommitted funds on hand (page 2). The 259,680.10 already holds the year's receipts. It is the 65,831.48, 89,302.77, 41,884.49 and 62,559.47 certified received in FY2023 through FY2026 plus 101.89 of certified interest. The FY2023, FY2024 and FY2025 reports each certify 0.00 spent. On the City's own figures the most it could hold is 259,680.10 less 26,005.45, which is 233,674.65. The certified 296,234.12 equals 259,680.10 plus 62,559.47 less 26,005.45 to the cent. It counts the year's receipts twice and reports 36,554.02 more on hand than the City says it ever received. No ledger has been produced.

The FY2026 report, pages 4 to 6, certifies a new program named First Responders at 226,269.00 spent. Its primary category is Wraparound and Connected Care Supports and its target population is Individuals who Use Drugs. It reports 67 people served. The same block states the problem as staffing shortages due to inability to pay at a competitive rate and the purpose as ensuring the public receives EMS services. It says the budget can pay part-time EMTs 18.00 an hour and the grant pays the additional 9.00. The books match the figure to the cent. Account G-02-41-779-002 paid 39 payroll charges from PR 27 on 07/03/2025 to PR 12 on 06/30/2026, a total of 226,269.00. The payroll register, which runs to pay date 05/15/2026, lists every allocation under Home Dept EMS. The charge follows hours worked by EMS staff, not services to people who use drugs, and no wraparound or connected care service is documented. Exhibit E Category I, First Responders, adds two uses to the first-responder items in sections C, D and H: education on fentanyl precautions and wellness support for first responders. No listed use in C, D, H or I names EMT pay.

Frequently asked questions

Why does Camden County appear twice, as a county and as its municipalities?

The county government and each municipality receive their own allocations and file their own reports. The county's grade covers its own books. The municipalities are graded separately and rolled up on this page.The rubric

Did the county pass any of its money down to the towns?

Where a county made subawards to municipalities, the payment appears in the county ledger as a transfer out and on the receiving town's page as money received. Both sides are shown from the documents.How we trace a transfer

Which Camden County jurisdictions have not produced their records?

None has refused. Jurisdictions marked pending have a request inside the statutory window, and no letter grade is issued until the ledger is complete.Every town
