About Aviva Center

The Aviva Center began in 1915 as The Ida Strauss Day Nursery, which arranged for the adoptions of WWI orphans and provided day care to children of working widows and mothers. In 1918, they became the Jewish Alliance, which added a small residential program and community center to the day nursery. In 1927, the agency became known as Hamburger Home in tribute to a major benefactor and for almost 40 years provided housing for young, working and single Jewish women. In the 1960's the women's residence evolved into a residential treatment program for sexually and physically abused adolescent girls of all races and religions.

Aviva Family & Children's Services currently provides many vital programs and services to at-risk abused and neglected children which includes a Residential Treatment Center, an accredited Private High School along with enrichment programs for infants through sixth grade, a Foster Care and Adoption Program. They also provide a variety of community services to families, which include Mental Health, gang intervention, and a wraparound program.
