The following groups are financially independent, separate 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations created out of The Church of the Saviour to bring a community-based support system to the Adams Morgan neighborhood of Washington, DC.
Jubilee Housing was founded in 1973 with the mission to provide decent and affordable private housing for low-income people and access to services helping residents lead more independent lives. Jubilee Housing rents apartments at rates far below the market so those most in need can afford to live there. Residents are encouraged to participate in decision-making, management and improvement of their buildings. Jubilee Housing serves as a demonstration model for communities across the nation.
Christ House, a medical recovery facility for homeless men, provides the healing combination of around-the-clock medical care, a dining room that provides three meals a day and a caring community of physicians and nurses.
Columbia Road Health Services is a community-based health center. CRHS provides quality, affordable health care to many of the District's most vulnerable residents - the homeless, refugees, working poor families and the elderly - on a sliding fee scale based on income.
The Family Place offers prenatal and parent education courses, individual and family counseling, a nutrition program, HIV services, and special support for adolescent mothers and handicapped children to more than 300 new families a year.
Good Shepherd Ministries offers several programs to serve the at-risk children of Adams Morgan. A variety of programs are offered for children - from toddlers through high school - including summer activities and special camps. An emphasis is placed on college admission and vocational counseling.
Samaritan Inns provides formerly homeless men and women in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction with the opportunity to rebuild their lives. Transitional Inns and longer-term single room occupancy housing bridge the gap between homelessness and independent living.
Jubilee Jobs was the idea of Jubilee Housing residents during the recession in 1981. This employment agency assists the unskilled or semi-skilled in locating appropriate marketplace jobs. Jubilee Jobs places over 600 inner city residents annually.
Sarah's Circle is an inter-generational residential community that empowers elderly persons of limited means to live with dignity in a safe and supportive environment. Sarah's Circle contains 34 apartments and a senior center that serves residents and neighborhood seniors.
In addition to these organizations, the following organization has taken the mission of Jubilee Housing and created an organization to serve another DC community:
Jubilee Enterprise of Greater Washington was founded in 1990 and was originally based on the model provided by Jubilee Housing. Working with the assistance of the federal, state and local governments, banking and corporate partners, Jubilee Enterprise provides housing to low-income families in Southeast Washington.
