Data from the June 2021 Study of Jewish LA supported by JCFLA.

What else the study showed:

• Single households with children were more likely than any other type of household structure to be financially struggling

• Denomination: There are no statistical differences for denomination by household financial situation. That is, struggling households are not more likely to be Orthodox.

• Services: About one-quarter of struggling households required three or more services (ie health care, SNAP, employment support), compared to 8% of all households. Of those in struggling households, 38% said it was important for them that the services are Jewish services.

• Slippery Slope: Close to half of the households that are currently financially struggling report that their financial situation has worsened since the pandemic began.
