Emily's Place seeks to break the cycle of domestic violence for women and their children by providing ''transformational'' living with emphasis on emotional healing and life-skills training to ensure a successful, self-sustaining future.
Emily's Place is not a shelter, which typical allows women to stay for 30-90 days. Rather, it is a transformational housing ministry based on a 24-month stay commitment which promotes stability and wise choices. As the only faith-based housing ministry that focuses on the long term solution for domestic violence survivors in Collin County, Emily's Place served 26 women and children last year - maintaining full capacity based on available facilities.
