Jewish Family Service of Houston: Transforming Lives Since 1913
Jewish Family Service of Houston (JFS Houston) is a social service agency that has been transforming the lives of individuals, families, and communities since its establishment in 1913. With over a century of experience, JFS Houston has become a premiere organization that offers a family of services to support, transform, and empower people to achieve their goals.
At JFS Houston, we believe that everyone deserves access to quality social services regardless of their background or circumstances. Our mission is to provide comprehensive assistance to those in need through our various programs and initiatives. We offer counseling services for individuals and families dealing with mental health issues or life transitions such as divorce or loss. We also provide case management for seniors who require assistance with daily living activities.
Our commitment to serving the community extends beyond individual needs. We recognize the importance of building strong communities by promoting social justice and equality. Through our advocacy efforts, we work towards creating systemic change that benefits all members of society.
One area where JFS Houston excels is in providing support for refugees and immigrants who are resettling in the United States. Our Refugee Resettlement Program offers comprehensive case management services including housing assistance, employment training, language classes, cultural orientation sessions and more.
In addition to these core programs, JFS Houston also provides specialized services such as financial assistance for emergency situations like rent or utility payments; food pantry distribution; career development workshops; legal aid clinics; Holocaust survivor support groups; adoption counseling; domestic violence prevention education among others.
We understand that every person's situation is unique which is why we tailor our approach based on individual needs rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions. Our team consists of highly trained professionals who are dedicated to providing compassionate care while maintaining confidentiality at all times.
As an organization committed to excellence in service delivery we have received numerous awards including recognition from The Jewish Federation Of Greater Houston as well as being named one of "Houston's Top Workplaces" by The Houston Chronicle multiple times over the years.
