Jubilee Women’s Center supports women experiencing poverty to build stable and fulfilling futures, one extraordinary woman at a time. Led by the guiding principle that women of all races and cultures are to be treated with respect and dignity, Jubilee provides programs and services that empower women to make positive life changes.

Since their founding in 1983, Jubilee Women’s Center has transformed the lives of more than 1,000 homeless and low-income women through programs that provide safe, affordable and supportive community housing and learning opportunities to empower each woman to become financially independent.

Jubilee serves nearly 2,500 low-income women in the community with classes on technology, life skills and job readiness, along with a free clothing boutique, community referrals, and computer lab.

Jubilee’s approach is based on a three-part strategy to help women overcome barriers, build resiliency, and maintain long-term stability.

They address significant barriers for the women they serve related to basic needs, physical health, trauma and mental health, communications and connections, and legal issues.
They help women build resiliency through financial health by gaining living wage employment, government benefits (if unable to work due to a disability), job training, financial management education, and finding affordable, independent housing.
Finally, they help maintain long-term stability by helping them repair past relationships with friends and family, and build their support networks. They also help them cultivate their spiritual health by gaining life balance and giving back to the community.

We Believe

A self-determined woman can rise above her circumstances, and they help her build the skills and vision to do so.

In a holistic approach to supporting women and addressing the complex reasons they experience poverty and homelessness.

Women need time to heal from trauma and crisis to make positive life changes.

In the power of community to overcome isolation, create a support network, and build connections.

Success is measured differently for each woman; all steps, big and small, move a woman toward a more fulfilling future.

Women whose journey brings them to Jubilee will emerge empowered and self-sufficient, with a safety net of support.
