Emma Norton Services is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization actively combating poverty in our communities by partnering with women, individuals, and families who are homeless and experiencing the additional challenges of mental and/or chemical illness, or a chronic health condition. ENS provides affordable housing, basic needs, and support services in an environment that fosters stability and encourages personal growth. Emma Norton Services has two locations to serve a diverse community. Emma Norton Residence in St. Paul, Minn. is home to 50 individual women and Emma’s Place in Maplewood, Minn. is home to 13 families with single parents and 3+ kids. In 2017, Emma Norton added Scattered-Site Housing to their programs in an effort to continue growing to support more women and families in need of safe, affordable housing. This new housing program provides wrap-around support services to clients in Ramsey County as they work towards long-term success out in the community. Each year, Emma Norton Services helps over 300 people by providing a supportive community, resources, and personal development opportunities while they worked to build a better life without having to worry about basic needs like a safe place to sleep.
