What We Do

We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that provides emergency shelter and develops affordable housing in the Lower Merrimack Valley to help families and individuals facing homelessness rebuild their lives.

Emergency Shelter

Emmaus owns and operates two emergency shelters: Mitch’s Place for single adults and the Emmaus Family Shelter for families with children. Our shelters provide a safe bed, warm meals, and support services for those who have no place else to turn.

Prevention, Rehousing, and Stabilization

In addition to providing shelter, affordable housing, and supportive services, Emmaus also seeks to prevent homelessness by keeping people in their current housing or by finding new apartments for homeless individuals and families.

Affordable Housing

Emmaus owns and operates 99 units of affordable housing. We provide a variety of housing options to meet the needs of our clients, including housing for elders, disabled adults, and families.

D’Youville Center for Social Justice

The D’Youville Center for Social Justice provides career services, empowerment programs, and parenting support to prepare our clients for their lives after they leave our shelters and supportive housing. The Center also provides supplemental food and supplies to our shelter guests and permanent housing residents.
