Projects Now in Progress or Under Consideration

• The Seeds for Jubilee Foundation "Oaks of Mamre" Project 2.0--Short Term Relief for Shelter 2020 (Phase II AUG-DEC 2021 in response to the ending of the CDC moratorium on evictions)
  • ​Inspired by the powerful Hebrew scripture story of Abraham offering shelter to three strangers while unaware of their Divine nature, we are renewing our partnership with local faith community leaders to provide direct emergency assistance in the latter half of 2021 to individuals and families at risk of losing their safe shelter due to the end of the Center for Disease Control & Prevention’s (CDC) moratorium on evictions during the COVID19 pandemic.
  • AIM—Provide short term assistance by directly paying basic housing expenses (rent/mortgage, electricity, heat, or water) for beneficiaries at risk of losing safe shelter and who are nominated by faith community leaders until longer term solutions can be accessed through state and federal government programs
  • PROGRAM RECAP: Thanks to our partnership with pastors identifying and nominating those in need, between November 2020 and March 2021we were able to provide urgent help to nine families (elderly women or single moms with children) with compelling stories of hardship, COVID quarantine and impending eviction or utility shut-off.  In view of the ending CDC moratorium on evictions, we anticipate that a backlog of deferred rent and utilities may cause hardship for certain individuals.  We are making available residual program funding to address urgent needs for assistance until government relief programs can be accessed. 
  • WE ENCOURAGE FAITH LEADERS TO APPLY FOR ASSISTANCE THROUGH THE END OF CALENDAR YEAR 2021 AS LONG AS FUNDS REMAIN. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA AND A ONE-PAGE APPLICATION TO SPONSOR A BENEFICIARY MAY BE FOUND AT THE FOLLOWING LINK: https://www.flipcause.com/secure/cause_pdetails/OTk2NjY=
