Adults & Families

Our experienced staff conduct a professional assessment for the individual or family and determine which programs and services are most appropriate to meet the client’s needs.

Refugees & Immigrants
The Jewish community understands what it is like to leave one’s home and resettle in a foreign land. That historic experience fuels our desire to help refugees and immigrants make a successful transition to self-sufficiency. Our culturally diverse staff is recruited directly from the communities we serve.

JFS Silicon Valley is a leading refugee resettlement agency in the Western United States and one of three agencies resettling refugees in Northern California. We protect refugees who have experienced persecution due to their religion, ethnicity, political expression or sexual orientation/identity.
