Jubilee Housing works in partnership with Martha's Table and Capital Area Food bank to distribute food boxes to residents who live in our affordable housing properties. These food boxes help us address the significant food insecurity of our resident population. Many of these residents are unable to receive the food boxes themselves due to advanced age, mobility and health challenges. We are seeking support in helping to deliver these food boxes to the doors of residents, who are unable to do their own pick-up. All of our properties are in close proximity to each other in the Adams Morgan area of NW Washington, DC. many of the deliveries can be accomplished through simply walking with the boxes to a unit, with a very small number that may require less than a 1-minute drive.

Jubilee Housing’s mission is to build diverse, compassionate communities that create opportunities for everyone to thrive. We envision a city and a world where access to basic resources and opportunities are available to all people and where people live out these opportunities in the context of supportive community. Our contribution is to create and sustain a segment of this larger vision in our local community in the Nation’s Capital, and from this experience, influence change more broadly.
Jubilee Housing provides safe, decent and affordable rental housing to low-income families and individuals in the Adams-Morgan neighborhood of Washington, DC. Jubilee Housing was founded in 1973 when volunteers from an ecumencial church, the Church of the Saviour, witnessed that poor families were being forced out of their homes. This group purchased an renovated two neglected and trash-ridden apartment buildings in order to preserve the homes of its tenants. Today Jubilee Housing operates eight buildings and houses more than 850 individuals. Jubilee Housing works collaboratively with other non-profits that offer job training, child care and medical care to residents. In this way the organization strives to follow Reverend Gordon Cosby's vision of a wholistic, supporting community in which the poor can achieve stability and financial self-sufficiency.
