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.

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.

The Commonwealth Institute (TCI) has recognized JCHE as one of the top 100 women-led businesses in Massachusetts--a prestigious list that includes world-renowned organizations like Boston Children's Hospital and Brigham and Women's Health Care. 

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!

Leading Age Massachusetts presented JCHE with its “Collaboration for Community Benefit Award” for our Brookline Jewish Senior Events calendar, offering a monthly comprehensive listing of all programs in the greater Boston area for seniors.

We recently published the fall issue of Thriving in Community, JCHE's newsletter featuring timely stories and information.

On Monday, July 31st, JCHE residents joined hundreds of seniors, policymakers, and activists in front of Faneuil Hall to advocate on behalf of increased federal funding for affordable senior homes at the “Our Home, Our Voices” rally, organized by Citizens’ Housing and Planning Association (CHAPA).

Mayor Walsh did not want to keep our seniors waiting.

In what has become one of JCHE’s favorite Independence Day traditions, we celebrated four residents and one staff member who this year became naturalized U.S. citizens!
