UKRAINE CRISIS RESPONSE CENTER

ukraine crisis response centerAs millions of Ukrainians continue to be displaced by the war, the Marks JCH has stepped up with speed, skill and urgency to welcome a growing flow of refugees who have fled Ukraine and arrived to New York City. From February of 2022, the Marks JCH has mobilized a Ukraine Crisis Response Center utilizing our three decades of expertise serving immigrants and displaced persons. We offer resettlement services and support to Ukrainians and their family members.

The Marks JCH Ukraine Crisis Response Center is generously supported by the UJA Federation of NY, J.E. & Z.B. Butler Foundation, Tiger Foundation, American Equity CARES, Bank Leumi USA and the NYS Health Foundation.

JCH in the Press

“Crisis response was one thing, you have to be reactive, you have to move quickly,” said Deborah Joselow, Chief Planning Officer for UJA-Federation of New York. “Now that we’ve come to recognize that this will go on for a long time, the war, the trauma, we have to hold up these supports for a long time.”
