Emmaus Brighton & Hove is situated in Portslade Old Village and opened its doors in February 1997. There are currently 24 Emmaus Communities in the UK and 9 more in the pipeline. Emmaus Brighton & Hove is the largest offering accommodation to 47 men and women. Emmaus supports formerly homeless people by giving them a home, meaningful work in a social enterprise and an opportunity to get back on their feet again. For many people who experience homelessness, one of the biggest obstacles they must overcome is a loss of self-esteem. Emmaus provides an opportunity to regain this, with a chance to make a real contribution to their community. Emmaus communities are not hostels for the homeless; they provide a home for as long as someone needs it. For many, this support and stability is like the family they donâ€™t have, providing a safe environment in which to settle and rebuild their lives. Often this is an opportunity to overcome issues such as addiction, get support with mental health issues or rebuild relationships with estranged family. Social enterprise is central to the Emmaus model as it provides meaningful work for companions but also generates funding to maintain communities. Companions living in Emmaus communities are expected to sign off all benefits, with the exception of housing benefit which is used to help support the community. The rest of the funding that is needed is generated through social enterprise and fundraising. Emmaus communities deliver a significant return on investment. Research shows that for every &pound;1 invested in a community, there is an &pound;11 social, environmental and economic return, with savings to the benefits bill, health services and a reduction in crime.
