the new jubilee
The Campaign for the New Jubilee is an ambitious plan, begun in 2003, to fully renovate seven Jubilee buildings, expand and enhance life-giving resident services, and develop the management infrastructure to steward the investment into the future.

Renovations To Date:
All seven of our buildings are more than 75 years old. Renovations are providing brand-new mechanical and electrical systems, new roofs, modernized elevators and the addition of air conditioning to the properties. Individual living units are being completely renovated to include reconfigured floor plans, allowing for added bedrooms and modernized kitchens and bathrooms. The renovations also include creation of several new program spaces for Jubilee-sponsored and affiliate-sponsored resident services such as a computer lab, a wellness center, two program sites for after school programs, and space for a much-needed child care center. To date, the Mozart, Marietta, Fuller, Ontario Court, and Ritz renovations are complete and the buildings are fully occupied with qualified residents. Renovations are underway for both Euclid and the Sorrento, and are scheduled for completion by the winter of 2010/11.
Expanded Resident Programs and Services
Quality affordable housing is just the doorway to opportunity. Once inside, residents need creative opportunities to help them reach their fullest potential. The new facilities serve as a platform for expanded empowerment opportunities for the resident community. Jubilee Housing currently offers an array of programs designed to help residents maximize their natural talents so they can work towards greater self-sufficiency. These program areas include youth services, resident leadership, financial education, healthy living and life skills, and community building.
New Management Infrastructure
While the benefits of renovation to the resident community are rather self-evident, there are other important consequences for the mission. Chief among these is the development of a new business model for Jubilee Housing.
Key elements of the New Jubilee business model are:
- New property management and asset management plans
- A newly configured staffing pattern designed to incorporate best practices of the industry
- A new, integrated property management and accounting software system
- Tax credit compliance measures
