Jubilee Women's Center — Local services in Seattle

I’m a 23 year old student that lived at Jubilee for a year (I decided to move out on March 2025). What I loved about it was that the neighborhood was super quiet, the houses were big and nice, and there were free art supplies, a piano, pretty gardens, no water/electricity bills I’d need to pay and low rent.. But I came in very naive, anxious, and had a lot on my plate. The way they advertised the program made it sound like they’d help you heal from your past — especially with the whole “holistic healing” part they mention on the website (which was very misleading).

The staff here aren’t trauma-informed nor are they culturally sensitive/aware so please don’t expect them to help you process or heal any trauma. They’re mainly here to manage the program — making sure you’re working or in school, giving you access to free clothing from the boutique once a month, help filling out documents, and sometimes handing out free event tickets around Seattle. ( Trauma-informed care is an approach to healthcare, social services, and other systems that recognizes the prevalence and impact of trauma and aims to minimize re-traumatization and promote healing. Jubilee is NOT a trauma-informed care system. )

I really wish someone had told me this before I moved in. If you’re thinking about coming here, I highly recommend finding your own therapist and case manager outside of Jubilee. That way, you can get all the emotional support you need while still sticking to the program’s rules and meetings.

And to any staff reading this: I kindly suggest putting visible cameras inside and outside the common areas of ALL the houses — for safety and legal reasons. It would’ve saved me from having panic attacks given the situation I came from, and it probably would’ve helped keep the house I was living in drama-free (some people decided to bring men in the house...they know who they are lol)

P.S. If you live here, make sure to never leave your door unlocked and never leave sensitive information...

I recently recovered from homelessness however everything did not fall into place as one would think I barely had clothes to be presentable at potential job opportunities I need a clothing for a basic warmth . After collecting a few items from friends and Associates I knew I would need clothes to feel adequate once I was in front of people asking for jobs and other services. Needless to say I was able to get several items not all of them fit but when I got back to my transitional housing there was various women there that could fit them I talked all night long about my blessed Jubilee closet and the for complete outfits I was able to compile together has served me well I have interview at 3 places and I am scheduled for a second interview so I just wanted to say thank you . I would really like to give back in some way so if there is some volunteering or an internship I am available!!! continue to be a blessing and everyone know that God is able to do exceedingly and abundantly for whatever you can ask one love which is...

More than 8 months & no divorce papers, no restraining orders filed. NO SUPPORT. The 'classes' are bogus & doesn't count towards SNAP food allowance. Discriminating & grievance lawsuits await to happen. BOTH 'managers' deliberately do not manage. Have your personal email be linked to chain emails & leaving the office door wide open & inviting... to UNLOCKED info on all residents at SJP.

Certain lives matter. 15% do NOT need to work let alone volunteer 20 hours a week & can have their hair weaves & iPhones. & if you choose to NOT do your chores & dishes, MG will do them for you!

Cameras on premises is a joke too... signs. Less than minimal & least monitored. Some of the women do not respect the property & keep the lights senselessly on. Or the stove/oven...
