JFS Partners with Condo Management Company--
At JFS, we
are continually looking for ways that our programs and services can
be relevant to increasing numbers of people who otherwise might not
benefit from them. In the last several years one way JFS has
accomplished this is through co-location at so-called “host
settings.” Examples of this are dispatching JFS School Social
Workers to Jewish Day Schools or Geriatric Care Managers to NORC
(Naturally Occurring Retirement Community) apartment buildings. This
is really no different than putting a Taco Bell in a Sunoco station.
It’s a win-win for all involved, serving customers who show up for
one service or product with another one they’d have to drive
elsewhere for or live without. We recently entered into a
partnership with McShane and Associates, a local property
association management company. We welcome residents of McShane
Properties and their loved ones who might need geriatric care
management and/or might want to volunteer for the agency. So far,
JFS staff has attended annual meetings of condominium associations
to publicize the partnership, created links on our respective
websites and are planning further collaborative activities. This is
exactly the kind of win-win partnership JFS will continue to
cultivate with McShane and other willing partners.

Jewish Family Service
A 501 (c)3 non-profit agency, JFS is comprised of a dedicated board, a
committed staff--including masters level social workers and case
managers; and a multi-talented corps of devoted
volunteers.
For Jewish people in the metro Detroit area, JFS is the
safety net that keeps them from becoming homeless. JFS restores their
dignity, and provides a lifeline of hope and support. At JFS, we offer
support for those beset with difficult situations. We counsel families
in crisis. We hold the hand of the grieving. We assist the "hidden poor"
with food, shelter, access to healthcare and prescription medication.
When you support JFS with a
financial contribution, you feed
children. You assist the frail. You help adolescents cope with divorce,
eating disorders, and the everyday struggles of growing up. Please join
our
Friends of the Family Campaign, and
help us to help those who need us the most.
