Hannah’s House opened its doors in July 2023, and serves as a safe, supportive home for Jewish women and their children recovering from trauma and abuse. A joint project of JFS Dallas and the National Council of Jewish Women, Greater Dallas Section (NCJW), Hannah’s House helps women rebuild their lives in a stable environment where they can work toward independence.
Hannah’s House is a transitional home serving women who, due to trauma, may not yet be ready to live on their own. With minimal rent, residents have the opportunity to save their money and have access to JFS’s full range of support services, including case management, counseling, financial guidance, and community connections. Most stay for six months to a year, with JFS continuing to offer support even after they move out.
