At Emmaus, we believe that permanent affordable housing with adequate support structures is key to resolving the homelessness crisis. Emmaus provides an array of supportive housing programs to help homeless families and individuals meet their unique housing needs.
Supportive Housing for Disabled Persons
Emmaus’ owns 34 units of affordable housing for previously homeless individuals with disabilities. Disabilities may include physical, mental health, substance use, HIV, or other challenges. Individuals live independently and receive rental subsidies and case management support.
Supportive Housing for Families
Emmaus provides permanent housing and supportive services for 26 homeless families in Emmaus-owned properties. All of our buildings are located close to public transportation, schools, grocery stores, social services, faith communities, and recreation.
Housing for Formerly Homeless Elders
Emmaus provides affordable housing with supportive services for 21 extremely low-income (below 30% of median income), formerly homeless elders. Emmaus staff and assigned care providers arrange for needed support services, including Meals on Wheels, caregiver services, and home health aides, among others.
The average individual resides in our supportive housing for over 4 years.
