Survivors: Call JFS For Social Services
F
or 13 years, Jewish Family Service
(JFS) of Metropolitan Detroit has
received grants from New York-
based Conference on Jewish Material
Claims Against Germany Inc. (the Claims
Conference), to provide homecare services,
emergency financial assistance and other
social services to local Holocaust survivors.
After negotiations with the German
government, the Claims Conference
obtained additional funds to subsidize
in-home support services.
Like many older adults, Holocaust
survivors want to remain in their homes,
resulting in an increased need for in-
home support services — yet the initial
money available is dwindling.
"To access this help or continue ser-
vices, local Holocaust survivors must
contact JFS for an assessment:' says Risa
Berris, JFS director of geriatric case
management.
Survivors not receiving services will
be assigned to a case manager for a full
assessment. Current clients will work
with their assigned case manager. The
qualifying process will include verifica-
tion of Nazi persecution, using the same
general guidelines from the past 50
years, and financial status information.
JFS has been helping Holocaust survi-
vors for more than 50 years. Today, JFS
provides homecare services for more
than 200 Holocaust survivors.
Most survivors in the tri-county area
live in Farmington Hills, Oak Park,
Southfield and West Bloomfield.
Current clients can contact their JFS
case manager. New potential clients are
asked to call (248) 592-2313.
