Youngstown Area Jewish Federation

Youngstown Area Jewish Federation, operating through its Heritage Manor Division and doing business as Heritage Manor Jewish Home For The Aged, is a non-profit organization that provides healthcare services, particularly nursing home care for veterans. The organization has been registered to receive federal awards since March 2014 and is structured as a tax-exempt corporate entity. As a federal contractor and grant recipient, Youngstown Area Jewish Federation primarily engages in providing skilled nursing facility services and supporting emergency preparedness initiatives.

As a prime contractor, Youngstown Area Jewish Federation has received significant federal purchase orders from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 10. These firm fixed price awards, spanning from 2019 to 2023, have amounted to over $8 million and have been focused on delivering nursing home care, evaluations, and express reporting on nursing homes. Through its Heritage Manor division, the organization has provided comprehensive care and maintenance for veteran residents in Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana. These contracts were awarded without set-aside designations as part of the VHA's nationwide veteran healthcare programs, highlighting the organization's capability to deliver critical healthcare services to veterans across multiple states.

In addition to its contract work, Youngstown Area Jewish Federation has been involved in federal grant programs, particularly as a sub-recipient. The organization has received multiple sub-grant awards from the Ohio Department of Public Safety's Emergency Management Agency for the Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP). These include awards for the FY2022 NSGP-S and FY2021 NSGP programs. As a sub-recipient in these grant programs, Youngstown Area Jewish Federation likely supports state-level emergency preparedness and security enhancement initiatives. The involvement in these grant programs suggests that the organization plays a role in improving the security and emergency readiness of non-profit institutions, which aligns with the NSGP's goal of providing funding to strengthen the security of non-profit organizations at high risk of terrorist attacks.
