OUR STORY
In 1984, a mission group formed at Pullen Memorial Baptist Church to explore ways to alleviate Raleigh’s critical shortage of housing for the homeless. Two years later, a large house in downtown Raleigh on North East Street was listed for sale; and by the next Spring, a rundown rooming house had been transformed into a comfortable transitional residence for low-income men struggling to put their lives back together. It was called: Emmaus House.
