The Disabilities and Special Needs Boards of Pickens and Anderson Counties, Southern Wesleyan University and the South Carolina Department of Disabilities and Special Needs came together to create "The Jericho Project," a housing community that serves individuals with special needs/disabilities and SWU students committed to mentoring and assisting these individuals. This represents a new type of collaboration which will yield a living/learning environment that will prepare both its special needs and disabilities residents to live more independent lives, as well as give SWU students a transformational living experience.
