Ohel Children's Home and Family Services is a mid-sized nonprofit based in Brooklyn, New York, with a history spanning more than five decades. It began as a foster care provider for Jewish families in the New York metropolitan area and has since expanded to serve more than 17,000 individuals from diverse backgrounds through a broad range of services, including mental health support, housing assistance, elder care, respite for parents with a child who has disabilities, outpatient counseling, and trauma resources. These programs aim to provide safety, stability, and practical support for people facing emotional, housing, or caregiving challenges. The organization works within the social services field, addressing a wide spectrum of community needs. Notably, in 2020 it launched a national tele-mental health service to broaden access to care. Its reach extends to communities in New York and across the nation, with trauma resources and resilience-focused initiatives that collaborate with school-based services.
