Emma House, as a program of Inn from the Cold, provides housing and support for expectant mothers who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness. At Emma House, expectant mothers are welcomed into a safe, supportive, loving, and inclusive environment. Each resident receives her own bedroom and bathroom, access to nutritional meals, and 24/7 trauma-informed care and case management support. Emma House residents can stay at Emma House anywhere from 6 months after their baby is born to early toddlerhood. This is to ensure a successful, safe, and sustainable transition into community for these young families.

Our Life Skills Program offers the following courses and supports:

These and other resources provide resident mothers with the skills and resources required to learn, grow, and thrive in their communities with their children.
