Celebrate! 2025

Thank you to everyone who joined Jericho Project for Celebrate! 2025: Building Foundations, Strengthening Families—an inspiring evening dedicated to furthering our mission of ending homelessness and creating pathways to stability for individuals and families in need.

Through your generosity, the gala raised critical funds to sustain and expand Jericho Project’s comprehensive programs, including supportive housing, mental health services, career development, and family-focused initiatives. With a special focus on strengthening families, your support will help provide parents and children with safe, stable homes, wraparound support, and opportunities to build brighter futures.

As the affordable housing crisis continues to impact vulnerable New Yorkers, the need for Jericho’s services has never been greater. Because of you, veterans, young adults, and families experiencing or at risk of homelessness will continue to receive the housing, employment, and wellness resources they need to thrive.

Together, we are building stronger foundations and transforming lives.

This year, we were honored to present Christine Armstrong and Ben Nickoll with the prestigious President’s Award. Chrissy, a passionate advocate for ending homelessness, has supported Jericho Project for over 30 years. Since marrying Chrissy, Ben has joined her in championing our mission. A board member since the 1990s, Chrissy played a pivotal role in expanding our services to include families, veterans, and individuals facing mental health challenges. She has also brought joy to our galas through performances with her bossa nova band, A Lua. Together, Chrissy and Ben have been essential to our progress in addressing housing insecurity in New York.

We were also proud to present The Hudson Companies and Broadway Builders with our Corporate Spotlight Award in recognition of their transformative impact on housing in New York City. As leaders in innovative development and construction, their dedication to creating diverse, inclusive housing has been invaluable. Their partnership with Jericho Project is exemplified by Logan Fountain, a groundbreaking Brooklyn residence opening in 2025, which reflects the life-changing power of stable housing. We celebrated Hudson and Broadway Builders for their vision, commitment, and steadfast support in the fight against homelessness.
