Our Mission

To provide enhanced quality of life to the residents of the Bronx by offering services, support, and connections to resources that help people continue living comfortably and safely in their homes and communities.


History

The Bronx Jewish Community Council (BJCC) was founded in 1972 as an outgrowth of the anti-poverty movement. BJCC’s strengths are in addressing the needs of the older adult population and in providing concrete social services that help individuals and the community obtain and retain the resources they need to live appier, healthier lives.


The Agency Today

Today BJCC serves thousands of low-income Bronx residents of every creed, race, and religion annually. Services range from case management, crisis intervention, anti-eviction services, benefits and entitlements counseling, and emergency food assistance to referrals, advocacy, health promotion, outreach, and community cultural events. BJCC is known for our leadership in assessing and responding to client needs and emerging trends, adapting programs accordingly, targeting resources where they are needed most, and developing creative programmatic strategies to fill service gaps. With offices throughout the borough, our availability to serve is far-reaching. We are where you need us to be.
