Emergency Assistance: Project N.O.A.H

JFS SV’s food assistance and crisis services have quadrupled over the past few years. We provide these services to more than 1000 people under our Project N.O.A.H. (No One Abandoned Here) program.

Project N.O.A.H. provides case management, counseling, advocacy and assistance during crises or otherwise urgent situations. For some JFS clients, their need comes in the form of a life crisis; for others, there are ongoing challenges.

Our clients include families and individuals who are in crisis, lower income families and individuals with ongoing challenges, and physically or mentally disabled adults with acute challenges.

Following a professional assessment for the individual or family, clients receive assistance to pay for crucial life necessities, as well as supportive counseling and case management. Emergency assistance includes help with medical, dental, utility, transportation, and moving expenses. Services also include basic needs, such as household goods (toys, blankets, clothing, and department store gift cards).

JFS SV staff advocate for, and connect our clients to, agencies in the community that provide housing, medical, legal, in-home support, and educational resources.

If you are in need of support and the kind of assistance JFS SV provides, please contact:

Economic recovery comes slowly. Since the beginning of the recession, many more people in Silicon Valley than in the past experience financial emergencies and food insecurity. The economic recovery comes slowly to many. JFS SV is committed to providing resources to meet this need.
