A Message From Our CEO

Welcome to the Jewish Community Housing Corporation. We’re so glad you’ve found your way to us. Whether you’re exploring senior living options for yourself, a loved one, or simply looking to learn more about our work, we’re here to help.

At JCHC, our mission is simple: to provide safe, supportive, and enriching housing for older adults in the heart of our MetroWest community—serving Essex, Morris, Sussex, and northern Union counties. For more than 40 years, we’ve been creating places that feel like home, where seniors can thrive with independence, dignity, and a true sense of belonging.

On this site, you’ll find up-to-date information about the services, programs, and activities we offer—whether it’s transportation, meals, wellness events, or celebrations that bring joy to everyday life. We’re proud to work with incredible community partners to make it all possible.

You can also learn about our four senior apartment communities—developed from the ground up and lovingly managed by our team. If you’re interested in applying for an apartment for yourself or a family member, we’re happy to walk you through the process.

Most of all, we hope you’ll see that JCHC is more than just housing—it’s a community of care, connection, and purpose. Whether you’re interested in living here, volunteering your time, or supporting our mission, we’d love to welcome you into the JCHC family.

If you have any questions or just want to talk, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re always here.

Warmly,

Harold Colton-Max
Chief Executive Officer
