Are you homeless?

Emmaus is different. We don’t just offer a bed for the night, we offer a home for as long as someone needs it…

…as well as meaningful work in our social enterprises.

Much of the support that is available is only able to provide a bed for the night and a hot meal, but the next morning they are back on the streets again. This doesn’t necessarily give the individual the opportunity to address the root cause of their homelessness and find a long-term way to overcome it.

This opportunity, to become part of a community and make a contribution to it, plays an important role in restoring self-esteem and helping companions to find a way to overcome homelessness in the long-term.

But don’t take our word for it; click on one of the stories to the right to find out what Companions have to say.
