Jewish Board Of Family And Children's Services, Inc.

Jewish Board Of Family And Children's Services, Inc., doing business as Jewish Board Of Family & Childrens Services, is a New York City–headquartered tax-exempt nonprofit that operates as a federal grant recipient delivering homelessness services, behavioral health treatment, and family support programs across New York City's five boroughs. The organization operates almost entirely under federal grant programs rather than federal contracts, with 86% of awards structured as prime grant recipients and 14% as sub-recipients under state pass-through funding.

The vendor's federal footprint is dominated by the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267), which accounts for 84 of the organization's 111 tracked federal awards and represents the overwhelming majority of its federal activity. Recent CoC awards include $1.110 million awarded September 1, 2026 for permanent housing, permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS) across a twelve-month period ending August 31, 2027; $991 thousand awarded July 1, 2026; and $1.102 million awarded June 1, 2026, each supporting similar program components. All CoC work is performed in New York, NY 10018, with place of performance covering the organization's service delivery footprint across the city's five boroughs. Beyond homelessness, the Jewish Board holds federal grant awards in behavioral health workforce development and community behavioral health center capacity building. In July 2025, the organization received a Behavioral Health Workforce Education and Training Program (BHWET) grant from the Department of Health and Human Services Bureau of Health Professionals with performance running through June 30, 2029, funding 25 part-time clinical internships for master's-level social work and mental health counseling students at training sites in the Bronx and Staten Island serving medically underserved communities. The organization also holds four Community Behavioral Health Center (CCBHC) grants from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Center for Mental Health Services, awarded in 2022 and 2023, supporting expanded service capacity in Brooklyn, the Bronx, Manhattan, and Staten Island through September 2027.

Federal grant sub-award activity routes through New York State agencies, including the New York State Office of Mental Health (funding On-Track New York first-episode psychosis programs and assertive community treatment expansion), the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services (OJJDP Juvenile Justice Title II formula pass-through), the New York Office of Children & Family Services, and the New York State Division of Homeland Security & Emergency Services. The organization also receives sub-award funding from New York University for participation in the NY CHAMP Network supporting trauma-informed care and training.

Awards per year have fluctuated modestly across the past five tracking years—10 in 2022, 16 in 2023, 8 in 2024, 12 in 2025, and 6 so far in 2026. Eight awards carry ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months and face recompete renewal. The organization reports combined dollars obligated across all awards of $123 million against a combined potential value notation of $5 thousand, a data anomaly typical of federal grant reporting where potential values are not standard metrics and obligated amounts reflect multi-year cumulative funding flows.
