Jericho Launches Supportive Apartment Program for Veterans

In another new initiative just launched to help at risk veterans and their families get housing immediately, Jericho has partnered with the James J. Peters Bronx VA Medical Center to launch Jericho’s Veterans Supportive Apartment Program to fast track veterans and their families to affordable, furnished apartments.  Jericho will also help them land jobs and build skills through its successful Vocational and Education program, as well as relapse prevention, family counseling, and crisis management.  

Construction has begun on Jericho's New Veterans Residences!

Jericho Project has begun construction its veterans supportive housing residences, with opening dates for both projected for 2011. Jericho’s Veterans Residence I, located at 355 East 194th Street in the Bronx, will provide supportive housing to 56 veterans.  Veterans Residence II, located directly adjacent to the Bronx VA, at 2701 Kingsbridge Terrace, will provide an additional 76 units of supportive housing to veterans. 

The veterans residences will be state-of-the-art buildings that will feature small studio apartments, staff offices, community rooms, computer labs, and gardens and will be LEED certified — one of the highest green building certifications.   Click here to read more about Jericho's Veterans Initiative.
