UJA’s Real Estate Division leaders founded the Building Repair Fund from a place of understanding. We know how physical plant crises can upend an agency’s budget and reserves. The Building Repair Fund is UJA’s only grantmaking fund for emergency repairs, facility improvements, and preventive maintenance programs. Because of it, our network can keep doing what it does best.
