About
Jubilee House has been providing supportive housing to women and their children in Orillia since 2000 under Couchiching Jubilee House, which joined Redwood in February of 2023.
​
With four furnished apartments, Jubilee House offers subsidized housing with supports to women and women-led households with low incomes.
​
In addition to housing, residents are provided bus passes, Good Food Boxes, and a variety of programs to foster community and provide opportunities to try out new skills and experiences. We are pleased to build on the good work and reputation of Couchiching Jubilee House as we establish a presence in Orillia to help meet the affordable housing needs in the community.
There was always someone to talk to or help when needed. They taught me how to fight my anxiety every day.

Who Lives at Jubilee House?
Our residents are women and children who are prioritized through the County of Simcoe's Coordinated Access System waitlist. Many families who stay with us or are supported in the community have faced homelessness, precarious housing, domestic violence, substance abuse disorders, mental health challenges, systemic discrimination, family or relationship breakdown, and/or complex trauma.
Impact that Resonates.
"Jubilee provided a safe, affordable environment with many supports for my child and myself. They provided counselling, help with medical costs for therapy for my child, and many other things that helped us during difficult times. When I finally got into subsidized housing, they helped with appliances and still provide help today with counseling, therapy, and other things. Jubilee was a huge help during our time of need and continues to help us today."
