About Emmanuel House

Located in Detroit, this faith-based non-profit residential center helps homeless male veterans facing substance use and mental health challenges. The program includes transitional housing, a recovery track, and emergency shelter. Veterans receive support with employment, resume writing, interview skills, and transportation to job opportunities. The center works closely with the VA to ensure each resident has access to consistent care, housing support, and a path toward stability.
The program uses a structured, evidence-based approach rooted in 12-step recovery, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and psychoeducation. Clients attend daily group sessions, life skills classes, and individual counseling. On-site nurses oversee medication management and collaborate with mental health providers to ensure treatment is effective. Each resident works closely with a case manager to set goals, build life skills, and address co-occurring mental health and substance use concerns.
Residents live in a drug-free, semi-independent housing setting that includes shared rooms, in-house dining, and access to faith-based services. The main campus operates from a restored stone church, with additional homes across Detroit for those ready to transition toward independence. Amenities include peer mentoring, family support services, transportation to jobs and appointments, and group activities focused on healing, growth, and connection.
The center runs transitional, recovery, and emergency housing programs across Detroit. It offers 70 transitional beds, 20 recovery beds, and 20 emergency shelter beds to support veterans at different stages of recovery.
