One Additional Spot Available at PCR Home Staffed by Jubilee

Coveted spots are now available at Jubilee community living group homes! There is also an opening at a supported living home owned by Potomac Community Resources (PCR) and staffed by Jubilee. At Jubilee, housemates and staff form close connections with each other, often living and working together for many years. The people who live in the home have a voice in the selection process.

If you are interested in applying for a spot in a group home, please take a look at what people living in the homes say they are looking for in a new housemate and see if you may be good fit. Applicants must be enrolled in the DDA’s Community Pathways Waiver.

Jubilee continues to accept applications for people living in their own apartment, house, or family home. Register for Jubilee’s admissions webinar on May 20 at 5:30 p.m. to learn more.

Seeking Independent Woman for Community Living Group Home (Silver Spring)

This affordable and accessible group home in the Kemp Mill neighborhood of Silver Spring may have up to four female housemates. There are three upstairs bedrooms with a shared wheelchair-accessible bathroom. Jubilee direct support professionals provide care and do not live in the home.

Lisa Embrey lives on the lower level of the home. She says that she is looking for a housemate who is “well-rounded and independent like me. There’s a nice strip mall with shops near the house that I like to walk or bike to. I’m a quiet person. If we’re both home at the same time, I like the idea of eating meals together or going for a walk together sometimes.”

Seeking Mature, Quiet Gentleman for Community Living Group Home (Silver Spring)

Currently, direct support staff do not live in the home, but that is possible based on need.

“We would like a cheerful person who is easy to talk with. Someone who likes to sit quietly together to do coloring books and read stories. We like to take our meals together too,” says James Cabey.

“I have been with Jubilee the greater part of my adult life. I love my home, my housemates, and counselors. Jubilee is my family,” says Henry Tamargo.

This affordable and accessible community living group home in Silver Spring is the home of two fun-loving men in their 40s. After the passing of their longtime housemate, they are now ready to welcome a new friend to their home. Their home recently received a glow-up from volunteer group Rebuilding Together Montgomery County. You can read about the house refresh and the men’s bond here.

David McCormack joined Jubilee 12 years ago and now serves as president of Jubilee’s Client Council. He and Louis quickly bonded over their love of sports when Louis moved into the home in 2024. David shares that they would like a new housemate that matches their energy and interests, which include outings to restaurants, the movies, and the mall. “Most of all someone who loves karaoke as much as we do!” says David. “We’d like to live with someone social so we can all go to Jubilee events together.”

Seeking Peaceful and Sociable Woman for Unique Supported Living Opportunity (Potomac)

Jubilee supports three women* in their 40s at Potomac Community Resources’ (PCR) beautiful James M. Sullivan House in Potomac. They are seeking a fourth housemate to complete their happy home. This large, two-story home on a quiet cul-de-sac is elevator accessible. Four large, sunny bedrooms include private bathrooms and walk-in closets.

The home is supported by six direct support staff, including Jubilee’s Sylvia Aghariaiha who lives at the home, and says that “we enjoy hosting gatherings with friends and family for special occasions like birthdays and holidays.”

The women who live in the home share that it is a peaceful place, and that they enjoy coming home to a quiet and restful house after busy days at work and day programs. They enjoy playing board games, taking meals together, and going out to events hosted by Jubilee and PCR. They are looking for a new housemate that is also sociable and easy to get along with. Each housemate takes responsibility for chores like cleaning their room and take pride in helping to cook dinner, especially on taco night!

Weekly church services and social programs at Our Lady of Mercy Catholic Church are a highlight, as well as monthly dinners and BINGO held at the home with volunteers. A licensed and ADA compliant pathway connects the home to the church campus for easy access.  (Catholic religious affiliation not required to live here).

PCR’s Sullivan House falls under DDA’s Supported Living model, and the rent is set at 30 percent of income. Certain house-related expenses such as snow removal, security system, lawn maintenance and utilities are not included in the rent and average approximately $7,000 annually per person, which is a voluntary contribution from the residents and their families.
