The Ezra NETWORK AT Hamakom
Hamakom has made a commitment to help our community members in need. We offer emotional support, legal and vocational resources through the Ezra Network. The Ezra Network is an initiative of The Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles in partnership with Jewish Family Service, Bet Tzedek Legal Services and JVS SoCal to provide social services at no cost to those needing help in the Jewish community, www.JewishLA.org/Ezra.
If you’re facing economic problems or need support for yourself or someone in your family, you’re not alone. At Hamakom, you can get help with government program eligibility, access to one-on-one sessions with a social worker, legal counselor or job counselor, referrals for other services and programs and financial assistance.
