It wasn’t long ago that adults with developmental disabilities had few options, living in settings with limited choices and little autonomy.
J-HAP (Jewish Housing and Programming) has changed all that.

J-HAP was formed to serve the life-long needs of adults with developmental disabilities. The only program of its kind in Minnesota, J-HAP provides much more than housing. We offer a way of life with an array of progressive amenities that allow individuals to live independently, increase self-esteem and thrive within a Jewish community that is open to all.
24-hour Front Desk Liaison

Knowing someone is stationed at the front desk 24/7 contributes to a tenant’s feeling of well-being in their apartment. Without this, many individuals living at Cornerstone Creek would be unable to live independently. Our Front Desk Liaison is always there to greet tenants and visitors. They also monitor building security and if needed, place the first call for help by contacting those named on a tenant’s emergency plan.

Tenant and Family Coordination

Ensure that each newcomer enjoys a smooth transition into life at Cornerstone Creek. Families participate in welcome sessions to review the tenant’s person-centered plan to make sure adequate personal supports are in place. We hold skill-building workshops to help tenants develop their independence. Workshops may include kitchen safety, cooking, use of technology, accessing transportation and developing positive social interaction.

Tenant Community Engagement

We make it easy for tenants to participate in the larger community via the many options available for a variety of interests. J-HAP is forging partnerships with local event venues, sports teams, cultural organizations, educational programs and vocational-based programs to broaden our offering of community-based activities.

Supplemental Health and Wellness

Cornerstone Creek’s state-of-the-art fitness studio allows tenants to work out whenever the spirit moves them. Before having access to the fitness equipment, they receive individual instruction on the proper use of the machines. Exercise and yoga classes are scheduled, and our outdoor area features walking paths and green space for sports and games.
