Comprehensive support for people with disabilities and the people who love them.

What goes into a fulfilling life for a person with disabilities? Many interconnected pieces: A supportive community. Independence. Housing and employment. Coaching and therapy. A plan for the future. Support for family and caregivers. And a Jewish identity, if desired.

CHAI Disabilities Services supports clients in achieving all these aims. And that starts with navigating the complex maze of disability needs and service options to achieve Community, Housing, Access and Independence (CHAI). JF&CS experts help families obtain educational supports for younger children, and then later to structure meaningful days when they age out of the school system at age 22.

Living our values of inclusion and caring, JF&CS is committed to going above and beyond in enriching the lives of people with disabilities in our community.

Our CHAI Works community-based day program provides high quality programming to help people with disabilities develop their skills, build a social life, and become proud contributing members of the community through meaningful volunteer work.

Our CHAI residences are places where adults with disabilities can live as independently as possible while still part of a meaningful community. We offer the only kosher residential living option for adults with disabilities in the state, as well as opportunities for Jewish life such as group Shabbat dinners. On a recent high-stakes audit from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, JF&CS received a perfect score.
