Jewish
Apartments & Services (JAS) is an equal housing organization
that is dedicated to providing safe and affordable housing and related
services to older adults in order to promote independence and the
highest possible quality of life. JAS whole-heartedly embodies the
commandment to "honor thy mother and thy father' by providing
our residents with exceptional support with compassion and dependability.
JAS offers subsidized and below market-rate apartments within its
Oak Park and West Bloomfield, Michigan buildings serving over 800
individuals.
JAS
was awarded its first CHSP position back in 1993. Since then, our
CHSP program has expanded staffing and programs to provide services
in each of our buildings. These services include case management,
personal care and housekeeping, transportation and weekend meals.
JAS provides 3,000 hours per year in case management, 2,700 hours
per year in personal care assistance, 2,300 hours per year in housekeeping
services, 1,200 trips per year in the transportation program and
400 weekend meals per year.
CHSP
on average serves 102 residents ranging in age from 58 to 100 years
old, with an average age of 83 years old.
The
benefits of our HUD sponsored CHSP program goes beyond just statistics.
CHSP is a safety net for many of our seniors. Without such a program,
many would end up living in nursing homes prematurely since most
housing alternatives would be too costly and out of reach. CHSP
services allow our residents to age in place and maintain their
independence. Many of our residents live out their lives in the
comfort of their own homes without the fear of having to move to
a strange place late in life. Our residents' family members are
relieved to know there are quality support services in place for
their loved ones.
HUD
has not only provided the opportunity for seniors to live in affordable
and safe housing, but through their CHSP program, they have enhanced
their quality of life by allowing our elderly to live with dignity
and respect through essential supportive services. On behalf of
our JAS residents, staff and board of directors, we share our appreciation
to HUD for allowing us this opportunity to better serve our residents
and their families.
