Our tradition helps us understand how important it is for each person to live a meaningful life, despite personal and physical challenges.

Federation supports a variety of opportunities that make this possible, including:
- Family support groups
- Group homes in Maryland and Northern Virginia that support residents with mental illness, deafness, or physical and developmental disabilities
- Supervised independent living arrangements
- Transition services for young adults with developmental disabilities
- Summer camp
- Teen programming
- Educational seminars for caregivers
- Case management, including vocational help
- Counseling
To maximize the effectiveness of these services, Federation draws on the support of a team of social service organizations including:
- Jewish Foundation for Group Homes

- JCC of Greater Washington
- Partnership for Jewish Life and Learning
- JCC of Northern Virginia
