Pickens and Anderson County board of Disabilities and Special Needs, Southern Wesleyan University, and the Department of Disabilities and Special Needs joined together with elected and appointed officials February 27, 2017 to break ground on the first phase of a housing community that will serve individuals with special needs and disabilities. The Jericho Project represents a new type of collaboration which will yield a living/learning environment that will prepare its special needs and disabilities residents to live more independent lives, while at the same time, provide a select group of Southern Wesleyan University students an immersive experiential learning opportunity to guide them in important ways in their chosen profession.
