Preventive Services
Jhanae loved her baby more than anything, but with no papers and her family still in Haiti, she was in over her head. Working off the books as a hair braider in Flatbush and living in a shelter, she struggled to provide. A moment of desperation led her to be caught shoplifting, a charge that endangered her daughter’s custody. A Jewish Board caseworker set Jhanae up with parenting classes and legal help and then got her on the road to permanent residency and stable housing.
