Seventy Years of Progress: A Message from our Leadership:

Introduction

On a cold November night in 1936, our founders met in a New York City apartment to discussways to help their brethren escape the threat of Nazi persecution. There, the concept ofSelfhelp Community Services was born—to provide the support that allows people to retainindependence and control of their own lives. Over the past 70 years, the components of ourservices have grown to meet changing times and evolving client needs. We now offer a widespectrum of services such as home health care, affordable housing and Alzheimer’s programsto respond to a growing and increasingly diverse population. Although our services haveexpanded and delivery methods improved, every generation of caregivers at Selfhelp hascarried on the legacy of those who reached out with compassion and understanding so manyyears ago. As Selfhelp begins its 71st year, we remain determined that the most vulnerableamong us need not shoulder the burden alone.

Selfhelp was created to assist the thousandswho managed to escape persecution and find their way to the United States.Though our mission has grown andexpanded, Nazi Victim Services remains atthe core of Selfhelp’s programs. Last year,we provided comprehensive services for5,308 Holocaust survivors and victims ofNazi persecution, of which 25% were newto our program. As these men and

In 1964, Selfhelp was the first not-for-profit organization to construct its ownapartment building for seniors, completewith a wide range of on-site services to promote independent living. Today,Selfhelp owns and operates six seniorresidences providing affordable apartmentsfor over 1,000 low and moderate incomeseniors in the metropolitan area.

Wherever we go, we carry our history with us. We have learned lessons, caring for generations…


Selfhelp was among the first tointroduce the concept of seniorcenters to enrich the lives ofolder adults, like Rosa Cosachov,pictured here with art instruc-tor, Virginia Burstein.

Selfhelp learned 70 years ago that immi-grants need much more than food andhousing to succeed in America. They needto learn the language and culture to buildnew lives in their new home.

From remote monitoring to cognitivestimulation of early stage Alzheimer'spatients, Selfhelp is employing state-of-the-art technology in new and imagin-ative ways. For example:

The wirelesssensors track daily activities and can alert caregivers to changes in behavior.Telehealth equipment is now underreview for Selfhelp’s home care clients.This system will monitor and record data on clients’ blood pressure, glucose,temperature and weight and will

The Campaign for Selfhelp, our $12million capacity building campaign, was successfully concluded in June of2006. Part of a comprehensive plan toprepare Selfhelp for the next decade,dedicated teams of Board members and staff worked together to developnew strategies to enhance our facilities,strengthen our financial position, andgrow the excellence of our programs.Under the capable leadership of Co-Chairs, Matthew A. Cantor, Peter H.Jakes, and Raymond V.J. Schrag, andwith the strong support of UJA-Federation of New York and hundredsof individuals, foundations, corpora-tions and organizations, we were able to achieve our ambitious goal.

With the increase in demand for ourNazi Victim Services, half of the fundsraised have been earmarked for thiscore program so that we can continueto fulfill our founders’ promise to serveas the “last surviving relative” for thosewho need us, for as long as they needus. Plans for the other funds includefurther investments in our seniorcenters and housing, quality of life

initiatives, Alzheimer’s programs, newtechnologies, and educational andrecreational programs. The infusion ofcampaign revenue has already been feltin several of our service areas.

Seventy Years of Progress: A Message from our Leadership:

Introduction

On a cold November night in 1936, our founders met in a New York City apartment to discussways to help their brethren escape the threat of Nazi persecution. There, the concept ofSelfhelp Community Services was born—to provide the support that allows people to retainindependence and control of their own lives. Over the past 70 years, the components of ourservices have grown to meet changing times and evolving client needs. We now offer a widespectrum of services such as home health care, affordable housing and Alzheimer’s programsto respond to a growing and increasingly diverse population. Although our services haveexpanded and delivery methods improved, every generation of caregivers at Selfhelp hascarried on the legacy of those who reached out with compassion and understanding so manyyears ago. As Selfhelp begins its 71st year, we remain determined that the most vulnerableamong us need not shoulder the burden alone.
