JRS Mission Statement

Jewish Residential Services provides residential and rehabilitative services to people who need support in their everyday lives because of psychiatric or developmental disabilities. JRS helps people learning to live with long-term disabilities to establish dignified, stable, productive and satisfying lives for themselves as members of the JRS community, their families and of the greater community. JRS offers a culturally rich, Jewish environment which is welcoming to people of all backgrounds and which encourages participants to build upon their strengths and grow to their fullest potential.

Our Purpose

Jewish Residential Services recognizes that people with Mental illness and other disabilities have a history, a culture, and a religious affiliation. Research shows that they are more likely to be successful, to grown and to flourish if they have the support and acceptance of their own community.

JRS, a private, nonprofit corporation is dedicated to developing housing and supportive services within the community for people with special needs, helping them to remain stable and gain the skills they need to achieve a better quality of life.

With the help of JRS programs, many persons with disabilities can gain a level of independence and integration into the community which previously seemed unattainable.
