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.

Jubilee Women’s Center opened in the fall of 1983 and is believed to be Seattle’s first transitional home for women. Jubilee offered residents a supportive housing community in which to heal from crisis and domestic abuse and get back on their feet.
