Case Management

One of the benefits of Jubilee’s program is a chance to work with an on-site case manager—an experienced professional who is here to support, coach, and advocate for you. Case managers also connect you with resources and opportunities to achieve your goals.

Employment Preparation

In our expensive Seattle area market, a minimum-wage worker cannot afford the average two-bedroom apartment. Jubilee’s program focuses on employment preparation for a living wage career ($22/hour). Classes in Jubilee’s Learning & Opportunity Center enable you to develop or brush up on skills in computer use, interviewing, resume and cover letter writing, and communication. You may take job training courses or pursue higher education to prepare for your future—and your chance to break the cycle of homelessness and poverty for good.

Savings Program

Jubilee’s education program includes a money management course. Once you have completed the classes, you will have an opportunity to open a special matched savings account to apply what you have learned. It works like this: If you consistently invests $20-100 a month without any withdrawals for 20 consecutive months, Jubilee will match your savings 1:1, giving you up to $2,000 to cover housing costs when you graduate from the program.

Building a Community

Many women come to Jubilee lacking a sense of connection. When you live in the community at Jubilee, you will build relationships with women who understand what it is like to experience and move past homelessness. You will also develop valuable life skills as you learn to get along with a diverse community.
