what we do
|
Jubilee Women’s Center’s program is designed to give homeless women the tools they need to rebuild their lives. Jubilee provides support services designed to promote self-sufficiency. All residents pay a low rent of $200 - $250 and are either working, going to school, or volunteering in the community. Jubilee connects residents with educational and job training programs, legal assistance, employment resources, housing assistance, health care, mental health therapy and other social service referrals.
Women may live at Jubilee for up to two years, thus giving them the stability to make long-term systemic changes in their lives. While some residents stay for the full 18-24 months, others may only need a few months to establish permanent housing. The average length of stay is 12 months. Referrals come to Jubilee from emergency shelters, domestic violence programs, social service agencies, hospitals, churches and by word-of-mouth.
