Jubilee Housing
Review for JUBILEE HOUSING INC, Washington, DC, USA
For 35 years, Jubilee Housing has made a big difference to the Adams-Morgan neighborhood of Washington, D.C. They are currently the only organization in an increasingly gentrified area that offers affordable housing and wrap-around services. They believe that the way out of poverty begins with a home, and work hard to create and preserve housing for economically stressed people. Well-managed.
