The Jewish Community Housing Corporation (JCHC) owns and manages more than 470 apartments in four buildings for older adults in Morris and Essex counties in northern New Jersey. The non-profit organization offers seniors a range of options in terms of services, amenities, location and cost, all within a traditional Jewish environment.

1. A Tradition of Caring
Caring for the elderly is more than a Jewish
tradition. It is a tenet that has been passed
from generation to generation and lives today
in the hearts and minds of the families that
comprise our community and the employees
who so diligently and passionately serve it.
At the Jewish Community Housing
Corporation, we are dedicated not only to
meeting but exceeding the highest
expectations of the retirees who live in our
active and assisted living communities, as
well as their families. Our goal is not just to
provide a place to live, but a true sense of
community. We do this with compassion,
with respect, and with a good deal of joy.

3. Our Communities

consisting of 175 units, is comprised of the
