This is our main building,
Jubilee House.
| The backyard at Jubilee House is
a beautiful sanctuary and retreat.
|
 |  |
Jubilee House contains 27
bedrooms where women can live.
| A typical bedroom houses a
twin bed, a sink, a desk and chair,
a window, a dresser, a reading
lamp, and one friendly resident. |
 |  |
The living room is a shared space
where women gather and relax
between working, going to school,
or volunteering in the community. | Each resident cleans one area of the
house, keeping it clean and inviting.
|
 |  |
The dining room brings everyone
together for community meals and
day-to-day chatting between
roommates. | Our fitness center gives women the
opportunity to be active even though
their income normally wouldn't allow
this important self-care. |
 |  |
The kitchen shines thanks to donated
granite countertops, very durable. The
lights are on motion detection to
conserve energy. | Much of the building was built using
sustainable and green materials -
cork and bamboo floors, special tile,
and energy-efficient heating. |
 |  |
In a few years, this area will be an
overgrown "secret garden" where
residents can sit and read privately. | In this zen-like rock garden, women
can sit and make intricate designs
and patterns. |
 |  |
These photos are of former graduates
of Jubilee, women who have completed
our program and moved on in the world
in self-sufficiency. | Our reception desk is normally staffed
by volunteers, especially trained in
helping homeless people find housing. |
 |  |
This sitting area overlooks Lake
Washington and many friendly
residential homes. | All the furniture you see has been
donated by members of the community
who share our vision in creating a safe,
respectful place for our residents. |
