JASA is the go-to agency serving older adults in New York City, providing critical services to over 40,000 people annually. Founded 50+ years ago, JASA is a leading expert and innovator in aging services that recognizes the diversity among the aging population and honors older adults as vital members of society.

JASA’s life-changing support services, interventions and partnerships promote aging with a purpose and provide autonomy for older adults to remain in their homes and communities. JASA operates twelve affordable housing properties, is a licensed home care agency and offers a breadth of integrative services citywide spanning free legal services, health and mental health services, home-delivered meals, social programming at senior centers and community trainings on elder abuse, peer health support, caregiver assistance and more.

JASA was created out of a decision by the Federation's Committee on Communal Planning, which recognized that an escalating number of older New Yorkers required programs and services to meet their needs so they could remain in their communities with dignity and autonomy.

Since its founding in 1968, JASA has been a core member of the UJA-Federation of New York network.

JASA serves over 40,000 older adults, of all races, religions, and economic backgrounds in the New York metropolitan area. We also serve adults 18+ in our adult protective services and community guardian programs.
