The Emmaus House Resource Center

Where Support Starts

A One-Stop Resource Center to Simplify Access and Amplify Impact

Union Mission is bringing critical services together under one roof at the new Emmaus House Resource Center, located at 127 Fahm Street in Savannah. Here, people experiencing homelessness can access meals, health services, case management, and housing navigation in one place — faster, simpler, and with greater dignity.

In May 2026, Union Mission welcomed Emmaus House, a long-standing organization rooted in faith and service, into its expanding family of programs, strengthening coordinated, trauma-informed care for our most vulnerable neighbors. The Resource Center is built to support more than 200 individuals daily, reducing barriers by placing multiple service providers in one location — so every next step is simply down the hall.

A three-column infographic detailing services in a support organization. The first column lists expanded day services such as serving 150 attendees daily, dedicated kitchen and dining, private nursing exam rooms, and laundry and locker areas. The second column highlights supportive services including counseling and support groups, flexible spaces for visiting partner services, workforce development, and socialization activities. The third column covers intake, assessment, and program navigation, including housing navigation and case management, program intake and assessment, and connections to benefits and resources.

Services Under One Roof

The Resource Center is designed to serve up to 200 people a day through three connected layers of support:

  • Expanded Day Center capacity

  • Breakfast and lunch with a dedicated full kitchen and dining space

  • On-site health support, including two private medical exam rooms

  • Counseling, case management, and housing navigation

  • Job readiness support through partners

  • Dignity services including showers, laundry, Clothing Closet, barber, and salon

These services are delivered directly by Union Mission and through partnerships with organizations including Goodwill Industries, J.C. Lewis Primary Health Care, the Chatham-Savannah Authority for the Homeless, Savannah Technical College, and the American Red Cross — bringing healthcare, job training, and essential resources together in one visit instead of a dozen appointments across the city.

Powered by Partnerships

The Resource Center is built with trusted community partnerships. By co-locating services, providers can coordinate in real time, share referrals, and respond quickly as needs change — giving each individual one connected pathway to help instead of a confusing network of services scattered across the city.

Thanks to a $1 million gift from the Parker's Community Fund, the Emmaus House Resource Center at 127 Fahm Street is now open and serving our neighbors experiencing homelessness. We are grateful to Greg Parker and the Parker's Kitchen team for their generosity and for believing in what this community could build together.

Our Impact & How You Can Help

Support for the Resource Center meets urgent needs now while helping remove barriers so people can move toward housing, health, and long-term stability. By offering meals, medical care, mental health counseling, case management, and housing navigation in one coordinated setting, the Resource Center reduces missed appointments, limits transportation hurdles, and speeds the path from requesting help to receiving it. It also strengthens Savannah by easing pressure on emergency rooms and first responders, improving public health, and helping more neighbors move from crisis to care — faster and with stronger outcomes.
