We are committed to bringing positive change and enriching the wellness and recovery of individuals and communities we serve through housing, substance use and mental health treatment, and other community-based initiatives.
Our programs and services aim to help low-income adults and families with special needs, including those struggling with substance use and mental health issues, by providing integrated care, counseling, job training, and other support to aid in their recovery and reintegration into the community.
As a panel member at the opening of the new Chase Community Banking Center on East Fordham Road in the Bronx on April 26, Dr. Provet expressed our commitment to community-building and enhancing services for vulnerable New Yorkers across the city. “Odyssey House values are firmly rooted in helping the most vulnerable in our community survive and thrive. It is what we ask of ourselves and our partners in government and the private sector.”
JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon added, “We’re proud of our commitment to lifting up communities. For every person you lift up, for every community you lift up, you make the world a better place.”
Partnership for change
As a significant financial institution in New York City, JPMorgan Chase can help us expand community access to our services and support us as we also invest in the Bronx.
“We are pleased to work with JPMorgan Chase in developing community initiatives in New York City and delighted to welcome representatives of the bank to a tour of our family treatment center on Ward’s Island,” added Dr. Provet.
