We affirm the value of human dignity and self-respect for every person. We are called by our collective spiritual and social responsibility to serve all people in need--the homeless, disadvantaged, disabled, unemployed, and oppressed. Our goal is to enhance societal and personal advancement through provision of housing and support services that empower individuals and families to reach their fullest potential. Emmaus helps people rebuild their lives by creating and renewing a sense of community.
