About EMMA NORTON SERVICES

Emma Norton Services is a trauma-informed nonprofit in Saint Paul, Minnesota that provides supportive housing, case management, and recovery-centered services for women, individuals, and single-parent families experiencing homelessness and related disabilities. The organization operates multiple housing programs (including scattered-site supportive housing, Emma’s Place family housing, and the Restoring Waters program) and complementary supportive services focused on stability, well-being, and long-term housing retention.

In recent years Emma Norton has expanded into community mental health access with The Living Room, a free, peer-led mental health drop-in service, and continues to track measurable outcomes (housing retention, program engagement, and goal attainment) to guide program design and continuous improvement.

Notable achievements

Opened The Living Room (2024)

Launched a free, peer‑led mental health drop-in (opened August 2024) that provides recovery-based, non-crisis supports as an alternative to emergency departments and operates seven days per week.

2025 Service Reach

Served 355 individuals in 2025 across housing and supportive programs, with a majority of participants identifying as persons of color and the population primarily very low income.

High housing stability outcomes

Program outcomes demonstrate strong housing stability: Restoring Waters clients show very high 12‑month retention or exit to safe housing, Emma’s Place reported families exiting to permanent affordable housing at program exit, and the Scattered‑Site program reports a high rate of tenants completing initial lease periods.
