Since 1867, Jewish Family Services (JFS) has been a leading provider of social services, mental health services, and supportive and affordable housing in Greater Milwaukee for individuals, families and children of every age, race, religion, income and lifestyle. The organization is built on Jewish traditions of Tikkun Olam (making the world a better place), Chesed (love and kindness) and Tzedekah (righteousness, justice).

Originally organized as the Hebrew Relief Society, JFS has had five different names - each reflecting the changing needs and challenges of the time. Today, the organization offers a wide spectrum of services and resources to thousands of individuals served annually. JFS provides counselling services to help persons of all ages who are struggling with depression, anxiety, and life transitions. Our Care Coordinators assure that seniors, families, individuals with disabilities, and individuals with severe and persistent mental illness and other challenges are given the opportunity to achieve their fullest potential. We are proud to provide our services throughout the community, at the Sojourner Family Peace Center, at a number of local schools, and at several housing residences. The diverse populations we serve often represent the most vulnerable in our community with over 55% earning less than $15,000 per year.

Additionally, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, JFS Housing, we offer affordable housing for low- and moderate-income individuals, families, seniors and people with disabilities. JFS Housing was created in 2008 to support the mission of JFS in the development of housing for seniors, families, and people with disabilities. All residents of our housing earn less than 60% of the area median income.

JFS enjoys a strong endowment as well as support from the Milwaukee Jewish Federation, United Way, state and local government agencies, foundations and individual donors. Over the past several months, the Board of Directors has engaged in strategic efforts to affirm the mission, analyze the organization and has taken action through increased fundraising efforts and programmatic changes to strengthen the organization’s sustainability and impact. We see this important thinking and planning continuing in partnership with a new President and Chief Executive Officer.

• Our Mission: The mission of Jewish Family Services is to provide supportive services that will strengthen families, children and individuals throughout the life cycle within the context of their unique needs and traditions.
• Our Vision: Jewish Family Services will be the recognized resource for high quality services that enhance the lives of all we serve. We will enable our clients to adapt to change, reach their maximum potential and lead fulfilled lives.
• Our Values: Long held Jewish traditions of Tikkun Olam, which means repairing the world or making the world a better place, and values of Chesed (loving kindness) and Tzedekah (righteousness, justice) give our organization a deeply rooted sense of responsibility to care for our community, not as a burden but as a Mitzvah (obligation).
