Family Stability
Building Stability
and Long-term Independence
Crisis or long-term economic problems can create a heavy burden that is difficult to overcome. JFCS helps individuals and families navigate life’s challenges through a holistic case management approach that begins with an assessment of their situation and the development of a plan.
Plans are based on individual needs and identify the range of services or direct assistance needed to address the immediate crisis and move toward long-term stability and independence.
