Who We Are
Jubilee Community Development Corporation
Our Mission
Jubilee Community Development Corporation is a 501(c)3 nonprofit on a mission to eliminate the consequences of benign neglect within North St. Louis City.
Our Vision
At Jubilee Community Development Corporation, we empower individuals for true community development. Our vision is to build a community of recovery, renewal, and hope. We are doing this by providing treatment, purpose, and restoration to the homeless, addicted, mentally ill, and unemployable men and women of North St. Louis. We offer a comprehensive system focused on personal development and accountability to help individuals overcome challenges and become purposeful contributors to our community. Our ultimate goal is to rebuild broken people who rebuild broken communities.
What We Do
Our Current Initiatives
At Jubilee Community Development Corporation, we are deeply rooted in our community. We constantly appraise the needs of our neighbors in the Fairgrounds and College Hill neighborhoods by living and working alongside them every day.
Our focus is on providing personal development and accountability to those who face significant challenges such as addiction, mental illness, and homelessness. We work to build bridges and provide pathways for these individuals to become purpose-driven, employed, and contributing members of our community.
Located at 4231 N. Grand Blvd, all of our subsidiaries and partnerships are designed to benefit the people of this neighborhood. By engaging with and serving our community, we strive to create a more vibrant, connected, and resilient place for everyone to call home.
