About this program

One might think that the words “Jewish” and “homeless” don’t belong in the same sentence—but each year, The ARK helps Jews who have been forced into poverty and homelessness by personal or economic problems. The Sarnoff Levin Residence provides up to 120 days of housing, Kosher food and a complete array of supportive services for homeless families and individuals. The primary goals of the program are to stabilize clients’ situations, minimize the trauma of homelessness, and ease the transition into permanent or second-stage housing as efficiently and effectively as possible, drawing upon The ARK’s wide array of services. With bright, clean rooms, nutritious meals and holiday celebrations, the Residence serves as a “home away from home”—a source of shelter, support and the warmth of a caring Jewish community—for 70 or more people each year.
