Jericho Project’s mission is to end homelessness at its roots by creating a community that inspires individual change, fosters sustainable independence and motivates men and women to reach their greatest potential.

Our national model combines supportive housing, customized counseling, and ongoing aftercare. This comprehensive model enables at-risk and homeless people to succeed in jobs, reunite with their families and lead fulfilling lives.

Description and/or History:
Jericho Project was founded in 1983 on the belief that every homeless individual can make transformational change towards a better life. Over the past 27 years the men and women who have come to Jericho have made remarkable educational and employment achievements, successfully reunited with their families, and moved on to independent lives. In fact, 95% of Jericho graduates, individuals who have successfully transitioned from Jericho to independent lives, maintain their housing stability and sobriety.

Jericho’s nationally-recognized program model combines supportive housing with individualized relapse prevention counseling, family reunification support, vocational and educational programming, and ongoing aftercare.
