Why Jubilee?
Residential Support Services
Jubilee helps adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities achieve greater independence and community inclusion by providing top-notch residential support. Strong relationships among people we support, their families, our staff, and volunteers are a hallmark of Jubilee. The people we support call us their family, and we feel the same way about them.
Our highly trained and compassionate direct support professional staff are the heart of our residential support services. They receive training above and beyond state requirements. Each of our program managers supports services for 12 people, allowing them to fully engage in the care their team of staff provides. Our staff is also supported by a full-time team of nurses who provide medical oversight.
“Thanks to my ladies I can live on my own and still know that I’m safe.”

Housing Support Services
Jubilee is the leading provider of Housing Support Services in Maryland. Our team of DDA-certified housing support specialists help adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities find, secure, and keep their own apartment or house where they hold the lease. We help navigate the complex housing process, including securing housing vouchers and identifying affordable and accessible housing. We also provide guidance for people new to living independently on issues related to owning or renting a home.
Our Housing Support Services are open to all adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. You do not need to receive residential support services from Jubilee to apply for the housing service.
“Making sure Sharon always had a roof over her head required a lot of work, done right and done quickly. Jubilee’s work with Sharon continues as we help her stay on top of her bills and benefits so that she never again faces eviction.” – Amanda Gibson, Jubilee Housing Support Specialist
Community Engagement
We create opportunities for friendships to blossom at Jubilee. Providing a sense of belonging for people of all abilities is central to our mission. Jubilee hosts programs nearly every week planned for and by the people we support. Our Community Engagement team curates highly anticipated experiences including outings in the city, cookouts, and beach trips. Weekly activities may include a book club, cooking and art classes, and wellness and exercise programs.
“My life is full of friendship. I love everything we do together.”
