Due to severe flash flood warnings in the New York area, all JCCA city locations will be closed on Tuesday, October 26, 2021. Staff based out of these offices will perform their usual work remotely. The Westchester campus will remain open and will operate under normal emergency weather protocols. Please stay safe—and dry!

JCCA denounces the over-policing of communities of color that has resulted in demoralizing, dehumanizing damage that is inextricably intertwined with the challenges our clients face.
