Homeless & Emergency Referrals

In the case of Jewish individuals and/or families needing emergency housing, the Hebrew Shelter Home requires that an assessment is completed by social service or mental health professionals to best determine the safety of the individual(s) being referred and the safety and services of individuals already staying at the Hebrew Shelter Home.

1. The referring agency will review and sign Hebrew Shelter Home admissions forms with individual(s) and contact Ginny Galili (216-401-9925).
2. Individual(s) will be received at HSH at appointed time, welcomed and orientated to the Home’s environment, services and rules/standards of conduct.
3. Individual(s) must maintain relationship with your organization, JFSA or Connections on a weekly basis until permanent housing is obtained and a move out date is established.
4. In the event that the individual(s) violates the rules/standards of the Home, the individuals will be asked to leave the Home and the referring agency will be notified.

Partnership and coordination with local rabbis, community leaders, social service and mental health professionals is vital to insuring a safe and effective environment for all that we serve and house.
For any additional questions or inquiries, feel free to contact Hebrew Shelter Home Executive Director Ginny Galili at (216) 401-9925.
