Supportive Housing
Ending Homelessness for Good

To qualify for Jericho Project’s Supportive Housing Portfolio you must be experiencing homelessness and at least 18 years of age.
Nearly 500 Units of Congregate Supportive Housing and 140 Units of Scattered Site Supportive Housing
Starting as a modest 35-unit program, Jericho’s Supportive Housing Portfolio now supports over 600 units across seven congregate supportive housing residences – one in Central Harlem and seven in the Bronx. Jericho also manages three scatter-site programs with over 140 units that places single adults and families in apartments rented on the open market throughout New York City.
Providing Individualized Support
Jericho’s holistic service model provides the individualized support people need to maintain their sobriety, heal from the traumas they have suffered, and rebuild relationships with their families, as well as the intensive services required to secure and maintain employment.
On With Life Program
Jericho’s On With Life Program (OWL) works with residents in our Supportive Housing Program who have secured sufficient stability and income to live independently. The program helps residents identify affordable housing and make a healthy transition from supported life at Jericho to self-sustaining living. After the transition to independent living, OWL Counselors are available to provide services to “graduates” for up to two years to help them maintain housing stability. In 2023, 23 (~3%) residents transitioned via the OWL program
