Federation Makes Record Allocations to Local Agencies
(Continued from Page 1)
includes assistance given Is-
rael's humanitarian programs
through the United Jewish
Appeal and is the lion's share
of the available funds.
The large part of the ap-
proved allocation, $1,475,733,
went to nine Detroit agencies
under the jurisdiction of the
health and welfare budget
and planning division, whose
chairman is Arnold Faud-
man.
The largest single alloca-
tion was to the Jewish Com-
munity Center. The Center,
now building a new facility at
Maple and Drake Rds. in
West Bloomfield Township,,
was voted $574,516 for its op-
erations next year.
The Jewish Family and
Children's Service received
$324,908; Resettlement Serv-
ice, $174,560; the Jewish Vo-
cational Service-Community
Workshop, $155,216; and the
Jewish Home for Aged,
$125,000.
Feder a t i on's residential,
camping agency — Fresh
Air Society—was voted $95,-
583, and Tamarack Hills
Authority, the JWF commit-
tee responsible for the physi-
cal development of the camp
facilities, was appropriated
$22,315. The Hebrew Free
Loan Association and the
Jewish House of Shelter each
received a small allocation.
Practically all the above
grants represent sizeable in-
creases over previous appro-
priations for the same agen-
cies.
Faudman said that alloca-
tions reflected changes in the
projected needs of the up-
coming year. Resettlement
Servic e, the Federation
agency charged with the ab-
sorption services to Jewish
immigrants coming to De-
troit, is more active than in
recent years because of the
large number of Soviet Jews
who are being relocated in
Detroit and who require as-
sistance with housing, edu-
cation and financial support
while adapting to their. new
homes. Cooperating with Re-
settlement Service is the
Jewish Family and Children's
Service and the Jewish Voca-
tional Servic e-Community
Workshop.
The Jewish Family and
Children's Service, recently
granted additional support for
direct aid to .,people with
marginal incomes, will soon
be presenting to the division
a detailed analysis on that
program's status.
The division's report said
that Federation Apartments,
completing its fourth year of
operation, is at the present
self-supporting.
Federation's executive corn-
mittee will determine the al-
location to be made to Sinai
Hospital, heretofore under the
jurisdiction of the health and
welfare division.
According to the Federa-
tion report, since the hospi-
tal's multi-million-dollar bud-
get and program is so spe-
cialized and gigantic, the di-
vision this year expressed its
readiness to have the grant
set outside of its own line-by-
line budget deficit process.
For the last few years Sinai
Hospital received allocations
of $150,000 from Federation.

THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS story in connection with Je-
Federation's chief long-range
objective, the board stated,
is to encourage the organiza-
tion of an integrated com-
munal day high-school.
The expected total enroll-
ment for the UHS system
next fall, including the newly
affiliated Bnai David branch,
may reach 1,800 children.
The Federation governors
also approved the total of
$339,313 for central services,
community social planning,
administration and organiza-
tional services of the Feder-
ation itself. This sum includes
a funded depreciation and re-
placement program. The bud-
get for this activity is
supervised by the executive
committee whose chairman,
Alan E. Schwartz, submitted
the recommendation for
board action.
Associate chairmen of the
divisions are Albert Colman
and Stanley Frankel, educa-
tion; Drs. Conrad Giles and
Hyman Mellen, health and
welfare; and Avern Cohn,
community relations.
William Avrunin, execu-
tive vice president of the
Jewish Welfare Federation,
mentioned that these alloca-
tions represent only operat-
ing deficits and that addi-
tional funds are generated by
the agencies through fees,
memberships, tuition charges
and through cooperative pro-
grams with governmental
agencies. Five of the health
and welfare division agen-
cies also obtain grants froth
the United Community Ser-
vices of Detroit's United
Foundation. In calendar 1974
these amounted to a sum in
excess of $1,400,000.

and approval by the Federa-
tion board of governors were

last year's grants.
Also awaiting final action
is the appropriation for local
capital purposes from the
