Emmaus Emmaus is a solution to homelessness that comes with a challenge. Every Emmaus Community provides a home, bed, board and a small allowance for ex-homeless people.But it’s not a ‘free ride’. Each Emmaus also has a second hand business, recycling and selling clothes, furniture, bric-a-brac, books, and even electrical goods.When someone comes to live in an Emmaus Community, he or she agrees to work, to the best of their ability, five days a week in the business. Emmaus ‘companions’, as we call our residents, also come off unemployment benefit, and agree to bring no drugs or alcohol into the Community.Eventually, every Community becomes self-sustaining, and any profit made must be given back to other charitable projects – what we call ‘solidarity’. There are now 25 Emmaus projects in the UK.It’s the simplest of ideas. When a person has hit rock-bottom, they find their way back, not just through hand-outs, but by the challenge of work, of being useful to other people, and through taking responsibility for themselves. It works!
