At Jewish Community Housing for the Elderly, we offer the kind of housing that we all would want in our senior years: housing that enables older people to live independently, while offering the peace of mind that support is available when needed.

JCHE builds and manages exceptional housing in Greater Boston for low and moderate income seniors of all backgrounds. Our buildings offer 1,500 tenants independent living within a vibrant community. JCHE is nationally recognized for the distinctiveness of our communities and the excellence of our tenant services. Our housing is enriched by supportive services and life-enhancing programs that offer tenants a wellness approach to daily life including: fitness facilities and instruction;, accessible transportation; meaningful volunteer placements; computer centers; and creative learning, social and cultural opportunities. Our bi-lingual resident service coordinators and 24/7 on-site staff offer invaluable assistance. And if additional help is needed to manage everyday challenges, tenants have access to in-home services that continue to foster independent living.

Three of JCHE’s buildings – Ulin House, Leventhal House and Genesis House – are located on one site in Brighton, MA. Golda Meir House and Coleman House are in Newton, MA. A sixth building – Morton and Etta Shillman House on the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Campus – is located in Framingham, MA.

Our housing is financed by state and federal programs, and through gifts from individuals, corporations, and foundations. Private contributions make it possible for JCHE to go beyond bricks and mortar and offer housing that is so much more than a place to live!
