Jericho Project’s Veterans Initiative is comprised of three main components:

• The development of new supportive housing for veterans.
• Strategic efforts to stimulate the further development of supportive and affordable housing initiatives for veterans nationwide.
• The development of innovative employment programs and partnerships for veterans.

The cornerstone of Jericho’s Veterans Initiative is its two new supportive housing residences for homeless and low-income veterans, Fordham Village and Kingsbridge Terrace. These Jericho Project Veterans Communities, the first housing programs dedicated solely for veterans in New York City in 20 years, provide 132 units of supportive housing to homeless and at-risk veterans coupled with the full range of Jericho’s established support services and veteran-specific programming.

The Veterans Supportive Apartment Program, a three-year program started in 2010, enables Jericho to provide critical housing identification and placement throughout New York City coupled with the full range of Jericho’s WfO programming to homeless veterans and their families.

Jericho’s newest veteran programs are Homeward Bound, which  provides critical affordable housing placement and income increasing services to low-income and transitioning veterans and Homeless Veteran Employment Program, which places veterans in the employment they need to move off the streets and on with their lives.
