2Life Communities, formerly known as Jewish Community Housing for the Elderly, officially revealed its new name and brand at its annual gala Sunday night at the Royal Sonesta Hotel in Cambridge.

Over the last 12 months, JCHE has elected six new members to serve on our board of directors. Each brings a unique set of skills and experience to the group, and we are grateful for their commitment to our mission.

We are thrilled to announce the return of our “Wednesday for Senior Learners” program, a perennial favorite with both residents and members of the community.

Last Thursday, Governor Baker signed the Commonwealth's largest Housing Bond bill ever—$1.8 billion to finance the production and preservation of housing for low- and moderate-income residents of our state.

On Sunday, January 28, JCHE celebrated the appointment of its new Board Chair, Donna Kalikow. A lifelong Jewish community advocate, activist, and volunteer, she has served on the JCHE Policy Board since 2012 as treasurer.

On this Martin Luther King Jr. birthday week, JCHE’s Shillman House celebrated the spirit of service by holding a different charity event each day of the week to help improve our community.

We were thrilled to welcome Grantmakers In Aging (GIA)—a philanthropic membership organization dedicated to improving the experience of aging—to our Brighton campus.

Thank you to everyone who attended JCHE’s 2017 “Independent.Together.” Gala and made it such a spectacular success!
