JFS Aging & Disability Services offers the Holocaust Survivor program that provides Holocaust Survivors and their caregivers with the support, information and services they need to remain living successfully in their own homes.

The German Government, through the U.S. Claims Conference office, and the St. Paul Jewish community, supplies funds to provide services to Holocaust survivors. JFS services are available to those who have successfully completed the U.S. Claims Conference application process. JFS staff is available to assist with the completion of this application.

JFS provides case management services and helps to coordinate the in-home services needed to allow survivors to continue to live in the community for as long as possible. Chaplaincy services provide vital spiritual enrichment. Funds are also available for one-time emergency expenses.
