JFCS of Long Beach & West Orange County

What JFCS of Long Beach & West Orange County does

JFCS of Long Beach & West Orange County (legal name: Jewish Family & Children's Service of Long Beach & Orange County; EIN 95-2273033) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit social services organization founded in 1957 that delivers mental health counseling, case management, refugee resettlement, and emergency assistance across Long Beach and Orange County, California. The core service portfolio comprises individual, couples, family, and group counseling on a sliding fee scale (with Medi-Cal reimbursement through MHN Health Net), Older Adult Services including specialized Holocaust survivor case management, a comprehensive Refugee Assistance Program spanning four Southern California counties (Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, Orange), Domestic Violence Education and Prevention, Children and Adolescents Services (art, play, and talk therapy), Support Groups (Healing Through Art, Caregivers Support Group), Basic Needs Assistance (food, utility, rental, medical equipment), and educational scholarships (Daisy & Vic Schneidman and Minnie & Clarence Schulman). A subsidiary, JFCS Home Care, provides in-home care to Holocaust survivors with expansion to all older adults planned for Fall 2026.

The underlying technology footprint is intentionally lean: a confidential telehealth counseling platform supports remote service delivery alongside in-person sessions, a WordPress-based website (jfcslboc.org) handles service information and donations, and online donation portals (e.g., Qgiv) process contributions. No APIs, integrations, or AI/ML components are disclosed. Service delivery is clinician-led by licensed social workers, marriage and family therapists, and professional counselors (LCSW, LMFT, LPCC), supported by a standing pipeline of 40-50 graduate-level interns and associates, with multilingual case management capacity spanning Arabic, Dari, Farsi, Pashto, Russian, Spanish, and Ukrainian.

JFCS operates from two offices — the Long Beach headquarters on the Weinberg Jewish Campus (3801 East Willow Street) and the Santa Ana office opened in 2024 — and runs an annual Move for Mental Health 5K/1K fundraising event in its 37th year. Revenue is diversified across individual and corporate donations (with monthly giving and special fund designations such as Senior, Refugee Assistance, Basic Needs, Educational Scholarship, Youth, and General Endowment), restricted grants from the Claims Conference for Holocaust survivor services, Jewish Federation and community foundation grants, sliding-scale counseling fees, Medi-Cal reimbursement, and event sponsorships. GTM is community-led: referrals flow from Jewish Federation partners, school districts (Downey Unified), healthcare providers, partner agencies (WomenShelter of Long Beach, LGBTQ Center Long Beach), and HIAS, supplemented by email, organic social (Instagram, Facebook), events, and a PeppTalks video series. Annual operating budget is disclosed at approximately $3 million with a combined headcount exceeding 100 staff and interns.

Scale indicators7 records

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Regional players

• Jewish Family Service of San Diego: Jewish Family Service of San Diego offers counseling, food assistance, older-adult services, and refugee-resettlement support. It is directly comparable in mission and service breadth, although it operates in a different Southern California region.
• Jewish Family & Children's Services of the East Bay: JFCS East Bay provides mental-health, older-adult, family, and community social services through a Jewish family-service network. Its integrated mission and constituent relationships closely resemble JFCS Long Beach, but it serves the Bay Area rather than Southern California.
• Wayfinder Family Services: Wayfinder Family Services supports children, young adults, and families through disability services, mental-health support, foster-care, and community programs. Its family-centered, trauma-informed model overlaps materially with JFCS's children, refugee, and older-adult programs.
• Jewish Family Service of San Francisco: Jewish Family Service of San Francisco operates senior services, food security, counseling, and family-support programs. It is comparable in its combination of Jewish community identity and broad human-service delivery, though its service mix and geography differ.
• Families Forward: Families Forward provides Orange County families with food, housing, and homelessness-prevention assistance. It is a close regional analogue to JFCS's basic-needs and family-stability services, although it focuses more narrowly on housing security.

Broad incumbents

• Pacific Clinics: Pacific Clinics is an established Southern California behavioral-health nonprofit offering counseling, case management, school-based, and family services. It is comparable to JFCS's clinical and community-service delivery model but serves a much larger and more clinically intensive footprint.
• Didi Hirsch Psychological Services: Didi Hirsch delivers community behavioral healthcare, suicide prevention, counseling, and crisis-support services across Southern California. It overlaps with JFCS in mental-health delivery and underserved communities but operates at substantially greater scale and with a more specialized clinical mandate.

Direct peers

• Helpline Youth Counseling: Helpline Youth Counseling provides youth and family counseling, prevention, and related behavioral-health services in the Long Beach area. It is a direct local peer for JFCS's children, adolescent, and family therapy programs, but has a narrower population focus.
• Jewish Family & Children's Service of Los Angeles: JFCS Los Angeles provides behavioral health, older-adult, domestic-violence, refugee, and family-support services through a Jewish community network. It is the closest larger local analogue because it serves overlapping Southern California populations with a similarly integrated social-service model.

Others

• 211 Orange County: 211 Orange County is a regional information-and-referral network connecting residents with nonprofit, public, and community services. It is an adjacent ecosystem peer because it addresses the same vulnerable populations and can complement or compete for JFCS's referral traffic, but it does not directly provide JFCS's clinical services.
