main functions
When you have mental health problems or you find the emotional challenges of life just to much to take, it can be difficult to find the sort of living environment where you feel safe, happy and supported.
Chizuk is building up a list of adult placements where families are able to provide accommodation and support in a family atmosphere to help people on their way. We are planning a new women's hostel in the North West London area, and are working with local kehilloh organisations like Agudas Isreal Housing Association to achieve this. Their experiance has already provided two hostels in North London for men and women respectively, where accomodation is available either short term or long term.

background information on this organisation
Chizuk was founded in 1996 in response to Community Care legislations. It services primarily the Orthodox community, but no one is ever turned away without appropriate help. Services are delivered in accordance to Jewish law and it particularly sensitive to the cultural and religious needs of the orthodox Jewish Community. The community is based in three main cities, London, Manchester and Gateshead Chizuk is recognized by the union of Orthodox Hebrew Congregations, Department of Health, Department of Children, School and Families, Local Primary Care Trusts and Mental Health Trusts and Local Authorities. Chizuk works collaboratively with other organizations in the community who have an interest in health and social care as well as playing its part in the wider community representing the views of the Chareidi (strictly orthodox) community on mental health.
