Jewish Family & Children's Service of Pittsburgh

Resource Coordination

JF&CS critical needs service is designed to help you get through whatever immediate crises you are experiencing and to work with you to ensure your long-term well-being. We'll make sure we have a thorough understanding of the issues you are facing so we can develop a plan to help you.

How We Help

• We'll work with you to come up with a plan to solve your most pressing concerns (like possible eviction, unemployment or hunger), including referral to professionals and community resources.
• We also look at the underlying issues that threaten your long-term well-being and that of your family (if applicable) and also develop a plan to address these so you can work toward long-term well-being for yourself and your family.
• In some cases, JF&CS's resource coordinator may refer you to the social service and critical needs coordinator at JF&CS's Squirrel Hill Food Pantry.
