J-CHAI means a chance to give your child the choices in life that you always hoped and dreamed would be possible. We are all partners in achieving this dream. We welcome your feedback and support, and encourage open communication between parents, caregivers, support staff, and administration.

Monthly parent meetings & more formal parent-involvement programs will be announced shortly.

For you, J-CHAI means a chance to shape your own home. J-CHAI is not a building. It’s a series of apartments located throughout the Pico area – individual and independent, but linked together by you, the residents. With your community of peers, as well as helpful professionals, volunteers, and friends, J-CHAI is an exciting new adventure in the journey of your life.

• Renting a desirable apartment in the dynamic Pico area of Los Angeles
• Finding an appropriate roommate
• Establishing independent living goals and Jewish life goals for each resident
• Coordinating day-to-day activities and support systems for each resident
• Evaluating at regular intervals each resident’s progress toward achieving his/her goals
• Facilitating coordination among key support people in each resident’s life
• Developing events and other opportunities for JCHAI residents to build community- among themselves and with the greater Jewish community
• Providing 24/7 contact service
• Encouraging each resident to capitalize on day-to-day opportunities to live in a self-directed, independent manner
