About Jubilee Housing
The mission of Jubilee Housing is to build diverse, compassionate communities that create opportunities for everyone to thrive. Since 1973, Jubilee has worked to provide high quality affordable housing and holistic support to individuals and families in the Adams Morgan, Mount Pleasant and Columbia Heights neighborhoods of Washington D.C. Jubilee operates more than a dozen properties totaling over 500 homes and has an active development pipeline of new affordable housing, including D.C.’s first urban aquaponics and hydroponics farm located in the basement and rooftop of one of our buildings. Jubilee also offers robust programming for residents and community members as they pursue life goals.
Jubilee’s Justice Housing® model is built on the principle of providing deeply affordable homes with onsite or nearby services located in neighborhoods where resources such as good schools, grocery stores, and public transportation are readily accessible.
