JFS’s Emergency Financial Assistance Program (EFAP) provides families in Lehigh and Northampton Counties with assistance for necessities such as housing, utilities, health care, and food where there is a loss of income, medical issues, or COVID-19 related challenges. EFAP is not intended to provide full financial support on a long term basis. In cases of ongoing need, JFS staff will help the individual or family to find other resources through case management. All applicants will be asked to provide a summary of their assets, earnings, and debt.
Please complete the entire application and send to Rebecca Axelrod-Cooper at racooper@jfslv.org or 2004 W. Allen St., Allentown, PA 18104.
If we are able to assist you, we will respond within one week of your inquiry. If you do not hear from us within one week, we are unable to assist you and encourage you to contact 211.
