The Jewish Federations of North America’s (JFNA) Center for Advancing Holocaust Survivor Care is pleased to announce the release of its Request for Proposals (RFP) for the expansion of Person-Centered, Trauma-Informed services for Holocaust Survivors throughout the United States. Leading Age is pleased to partner on this important initiative.

The Application, RFP and Program Guidelines, and information about eligibility can be found at www.holocaustsurvivorcare.org. Applicants must submit an Intent to Apply by July 14, 2017 and submit the Application by August 22, 2017.

Launched in 2015 in partnership with The Jewish Federations of North America, the Network of Jewish Human Service Agencies, and the Conference on Material Claims Against Germany, this federal grant program is the result of successful advocacy to Congress and the Administration, and a successful philanthropic campaign to raise funds to help the nation’s aging Holocaust Survivors. JFNA will award approximately 20 sub-grants with funding from the federal government and philanthropic efforts. This is the third RFP funding cycle of the grant program. The JTA recently featured Mark Wilf and Todd Morgan’s op-ed about the program.

With the advancement of this program, more Holocaust Survivors will be able to live independently with dignity and comfort in their homes and communities. Thank you for your commitment to helping Holocaust Survivors. For more information, please contact HolocaustCenter@JewishFederations.org.
