Juneteenth is more than a holiday. It is a celebration of freedom, a call for equity, and a reminder that justice is something we pursue together every day. That spirit lives at the heart of everything we do and inspires our community to keep showing up for one another.

Happy Juneteenth. 🖤❤️💚

Thank you to our friends, and board member Joe Logan, at Morgan Stanley for joining us this morning at our Kingsbridge Terrace residence for a backyard volunteer event!

This year, the team rolled up their sleeves to clean, w**d, and breathe new life into our backyard space, making it ready for the tenants participating in our horticultural therapy program at Jericho. We are so grateful for your care and effort.

Horticultural therapy uses gardening and plant based activities as a therapeutic tool, supporting participants' mental health, confidence, and sense of purpose. Having a refreshed, welcoming outdoor space makes all the difference for those who benefit from this program.

We appreciate your partnership and your continued commitment to our community!

We're grateful for partners who believe in this work as deeply as we do.

We hope you’ll take a moment to read and reflect on why accessible housing matters for all of us.
