Kehillah Housing
Affordable Housing for Adults with Developmental Disabilities - Currently In Development
Cedar Sinai Park’s Kehillah Housing program will partner with Jewish Family and Child Service to offer adults with developmental disabilities affordable housing and access to an array of social services that support their ability to live independently in the community.
Kehillah Housing will offer a total of 14 apartments to residents with developmental disabilities, many of whom have continued to reside with their families of origin into adulthood. Kehillah Housing will provide much needed support to help transition these adults into independent living. An important component of Kehillah Housing is its focus on supporting residents’ inclusion into the community through social activities and supported employment. In addition, life skills training will be available to assist residents with their successful transition.

In December of 2009, Cedar Sinai Park submitted a grant application to the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The HUD grant would provide over $1.6 million in capital funds for Kehillah Housing. These HUD funds, together with over $1 million already raised in community contributions, would position Cedar Sinai Park to move forward and break ground. The HUD awards are expected to be announced sometime during late spring to early summer.
