The Journey

in 2023 we came up with an idea to provide our youth the opportunity to practice independence under the safety net of Emmaus House. We decided to build two apartment style houses for youth in the final phases of our program. A safe space for them to live without house parents and gain the confidence they need before moving off campus.

While many people generously provided the funds needed to build, due to instability and inflation of supplies, we have had to put construction on hold for over a year. We are happy to report, however, that we officially broke ground in June 2024 and the new Independence Houses are finally underway!
