Accessing Our Services

Overview

Who Can Benefit from this Program?

All of the applicants accepted into this transitional housing program are single mothers. This program has shown that the women needing transitional housing have lost temporary custody of their children due to their addiction & homelessness, and thus come to Jubilee House for transitional housing with on-site weekend visitations with their children. While the children initially do not reside in the facility, they do have overnight stays. Because of the stability Jubilee has offered to these "single" women, most regain custody of their children during their stay at Jubilee.
