Jubilee Women's Center

Much more than a roof.

What We Do

Jubilee’s residential program provides affordable community housing,
holistic support services, on-site case managers, learning opportunities, and a
focus on employment preparation to advance each woman on her path out of
poverty. Jubilee also provides low-income women in the community
with free referrals, computer access, and clothing.

Our holistic model

At Jubilee we support each woman to heal from past trauma,
explore possibilities for the future, and connect her with the
resources and opportunities to achieve her goals through a three-part strategy.

Step 1

We address significant barriers for the women we serve related to basic needs, physical health, trauma and mental health, legal issues, and relationship & community connections.

Next step

Step 2

We support women to build resiliency through financial health by gaining living wage employment, job training, financial management education, and finding affordable, independent housing.
Next step

Step 3

We help women maintain long-term stability by repairing past relationships with friends and family, building their support network, and cultivating their spiritual health.
