Ohel Children's Home and Family Services

About

For more than 50 years, Ohel Children's Home and Family Services has provided a safe haven for those suffering in our community. Starting as a foster care provider for Jewish families in the New York metropolitan area, today Ohel cares for more than 17,000 individuals from all communities through a broad range of programs including mental health services, housing, elder care, respite for parents with a child with disabilities, outpatient counseling for everyday people with everyday problems, and trauma resources for communities in New York and across the nation. Since 1969, Ohel has provided a critical safety net of support and hope. The organization offers mental health counseling and residences, older adult care, residences and programs for individuals with developmental disabilities, foster care placement, trauma and bereavement services, and shelter for victims of domestic violence. Ohel operates multiple locations including the Ohel Jaffa Family Campus in Brooklyn and The Kleinman Family Ohel Regional Center in Far Rockaway, with services extending into New Jersey.
