SELFHELP COMMUNITY SERVICES

During WWII, Selfhelp focused on helping European refugees find work, housing, and community. Early job training programs caring for the elderly lead to the formation of Selfhelp's Homemaker and Home Nursing programs, the precursors of our Home Care Aide Training... In 1969, after several name changes, our leadership landed on Selfhelp Community Services, Inc. to reflect the organization's comprehensive network of community-based services... In 2008, the Selfhelp Community Services Foundation is founded to raise, manage and steward philanthropic funds to support the work of Selfhelp Community Services. Toward this end, Project Legacy, an ambitious initiative is launched to secure funding for the last generation of Holocaust survivors. Selfhelp opens its second Brooklyn site in Kensington to provide much-needed services to the growing number of Holocaust survivors requesting assistance.
