Jubilees Mission
In most urban areas today a housing continuum exists for homeless individuals and families.
There can be up to a two-year waiting list for permanent housing.
Jubilee is an integral part of these community services, focusing its support on filling the gap between the two ends of the continuum

The 612 Project
2007: During the renovation of Jubilees main facility, three Friends of Jubilee (FOJ) purchased the home next door in order to house seven women.
2008: Jubilee officially purchased the property from the FOJ to expand Jubilees capacity to serve homeless women by 26%.
The home, referred to as 612 is a beautiful 1907 Prairie-style home adjacent to Jubilees main facility.

Unfortunately, downstairs at 612 is much less inviting

Austere environments do little to promote hope and combat the depression that often comes with homelessness.
Jubilee was pleased and grateful that our organization could help.

Staging that Makes a Difference
This was once the space
nobody wanted to live in.
Now, when residents walk down the stairs of 612, there is a welcoming, uplifting spacewaiting for them.
Enjoy!
