About Jubilee Housing

Since 1973, Jubilee has worked to provide high quality affordable housing and holistic support to individuals and families in the Adams Morgan, Mount Pleasant and Columbia Heights neighborhoods of Washington D.C. Jubilee operates more than a dozen properties totaling over 500 homes and has an active development pipeline of new affordable housing, including D.C.’s first urban aquaponics and hydroponics farm located in the basement and rooftop of one of our buildings. Jubilee also offers robust programming for residents and community members as they pursue life goals.
Jubilee’s Justice Housing® model is built on the principle of providing deeply affordable homes with onsite or nearby services located in neighborhoods where resources such as good schools, grocery stores, and public transportation are readily accessible. Jubilee is seeking individuals who want to work with us to ensure Justice Housing becomes a reality for all who need it.
Position Description
The House Manager is the senior on-site staff member at KEB, Jubilee's new workforce housing program for returning citizens, and the operational anchor of its 18-person residential program. This is a live-on position: the Manager resides in the building (in a separate staff unit with private quarters, bath, kitchen, and living area), provides scheduled day coverage, and serves as the primary on-call contact for serious incidents outside of scheduled monitor shifts. The Manager supervises House Monitors, maintains the safety and integrity of the residential environment, and coordinates daily operations with clinical and program staff.
The House Manager sets the tone for everything that happens in the building. This is not just a supervisory or administrative role -- it is a culture-setting role. The right person leads by example: modeling the warmth, consistency, and high expectations they want to see from monitors and residents alike. They understand that how the building feels day to day-- whether residents experience it as a place of genuine support or just a place to sleep. They are as comfortable having a hard conversation with a resident as they are coaching a House Monitor through one.
As a founding team member, the House Manager helps establish the house norms, operational protocols, and team practices the program will run on. The right candidate is a steady presence who residents trust, a practical supervisor who monitors can count on, and a collaborative partner to clinical and workforce development staff. The live-on arrangement reflects the nature of a 24/7 residential reentry program; the Manager's on-call role is distinct from scheduled shift coverage, which is maintained by the monitor team.
This position has been designated by the hiring department to require a background check and drug screening as a pre-employment condition.
