Daitch reported on sev-
eral new programs that
have been initiated or ex-
panded during the past
year. A special endowment
pledge permitted the
agency to open a fifth
apartment as part of its
Group Apartments for the
Elderly Project.
Currently, this project
serves 15 frail elderly. A
sixth apartment will be
opened later this year and a
seventh unit will be opened
in 1985. Daitch also noted
the special new program for
mothers and children "at
risk" and the special out-
reach services to the poor
that occurred this year.
Mrs. Shevin, past
president of JFS, was pub-
licly honored at the annual
meeting for her services to
the agency and the commu-
nity.
In his annual report,
Samuel Lerner, executive
director of JFS and RS,
noted the increased request
for services and the larger
number of cases served. He
noted that JFS served 3,853
families in 1983, of whom
1,160 were aged. there were
13 children in placement in
foster homes, adoptive
homes -and residential
treatment facilities.
There was an increase in

Lerner noted that both
JFS and RS "have been try-
ing to patch up some of the
holes in the safety net of
community services and
have attempted to develop
stronger family and com-
munity support systems."
He emphasized the agen-
cy's function of providing a
variety of community sup-
ports in order to keep the
frail and ill aged out of in-
stitutions. He noted this is
done with the new Group
Apartments for the Elderly
Project, with homemaker
service, with kosher
meals-on-wheels, with vol-
unteer and transportation
services and with financial
aid. However, he em-
phasized not only the aged
need counseling and sup-
portive help. ,
According to Lerner,
there has been a "pheno-
menal" increase in the
number of single-parent
families coming to the
agency's attention. In 1980
less than 25 percent of the
cases involved the sepa-
rated, divorced and
widowed. In 1982 it was 39
percent of the cases, or over
a 50 percent increase in a
two-year span. He indicated
that directly related to the
rise in single-parent
families has been the
growth in "reconstituted"
families where there have
been remarriages and mer-
gers of families with two
sets of children. In recent
months the agency has av-
eraged between 80 and 100
such families on its case
load.

Greater Detroit Section,
National Council of Jewish
Women, in 1983. An aver-
age of 139 individuals were
served with two meals per
day, five days per week as of
June 1984. Over 170 indi-
viduals have meals deliv-
ered to their homes under
this program.
There was a sharp in-
crease in the number of
clients seen in group
therapy. In 1982, 184 indi-
viduals were seen in 658
group therapy sessions. In
1983, 215 clients were seen
in 702 sessions.
There was an increase in
the number of cases receiv-
ing volunteer services,
Lerner said. In 1982, 166
volunteers provided 12,466
hours of service; in 1983,
there were 190 volunteers
who served 12,955 hours.
Lerner said there was a
growth in the homemaker
services provided by the
agency. This was due in part
to a special grant in October Oak Park hosts
1983, covering the year to
October 1984, from the Area tennis tourney,

counseling help. The agency
helps them' through a
variety of methods includ-

Guest speaker, Dr. Agnes
Mansour, director of the
Michigan Department of
Social Services, pointed out
that, "As far as the poor and
vulnerable are concerned,
the safety net is becoming
threadbare." She expressed
concern at recent budgetary
cuts in the federal govern-
ment which have reduced
funds that were targeted to
handle child abuse cases
and the care of children in
foster homes.
She said she felt that on a
federal and state level, "we
need to reordef our
priorities so that more funds
and programs are available
to help the poor, the needy
and the disabled to have
adequate food and shelter."
Dr. Mansour noted that
75-80 percent of the poor in
the U.S. are women and
children and that 25 percent
of the children in the U.S.
live in or near poverty.
