Addressing Community Needs ...Together

FEDERATI
PLANNING
DEPARTMENT

W

hen community needs arise, who addresses

them? Who determines priorities, searches

for answers and oversees the process

that will make the best use of our resources to help

the greatest number of people?

The Planning Department of the Jewish Federation

has a staff of professionals who work closely with

volunteers to make it all happen.With six standing

divisions and a number of committees, the Planning

Department assesses a broad range of needs, then

collaborates with Federation's agencies to develop

new programs.

Some examples? The new Dorothy and Peter Brown

Centers for people with Alzheimer's disease and other

dementia disorders. The doubling of in-home support

and transportation services for older adults. Significant

increases in support for our day schools and scholarships

for students in our congregational schools. The Pro-

Detroit program that engages young adults in the life of

our community. And many more.

All of us can be proud of our community's generous sup-

port of services that help people — and of the thoughtful,

comprehensive and compassionate way in which

Federation, in partnership with its local agencies, meet

the community's needs for today ... and tomorrow.
