Jubilee Home’s mission is to collaborate with justice involved folk to foster belonging, promote healing, and build wellness into our community through quality, low barrier, supportive housing and employment.
Jubilee Home is an organization that believes to be human is to be endowed with dignity and value. Every person is more than their worst moment. We work with justice-involved persons in the Durham community to create a place that bridges the gap between incarceration and full independence.
However, under current systems, individuals are denied access to many of the social services that could help them transition back to their communities. This means that even after someone has served the time deemed appropriate by the courts for their crime, they are still socially guilty for life and lose access to affordable housing, food assistance, and more. These circumstances, paired with the difficulty of finding worthwhile employment with a criminal record, means that many individuals who want to rejoin their communities in a meaningful way cannot make the transition. Jubilee Home works to remove barriers by providing housing, meals, and wrap-around support services.
