Marty Mellett’s job as the Vice President of External Affairs is to bring attention to the federal and local legislation that affects our city’s most vulnerable residents, especially those who face multiple barriers to housing like returning citizens.
  
In the video below, Marty talks about how COVID-19 is affecting incarcerated D.C. residents, compassionate release, and housing for people coming home from incarceration.

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected us all in unprecedented ways, but the work of Jubilee Housing has never been more important. This crisis has reaffirmed the importance of our mission.
