About Emerge:
Emerge is committed to helping vulnerable people gain access to appropriate housing and necessary support.
As a supported housing initiative, we are dedicated to assisting people with a wide range of issues, including homelessness, alcohol and substance misuse, learning difficulties and mental health problems. Our professional, well-trained staff understand these issues and have many years experience in encouraging people to progress towards independence.
Emerge Charitable Trust grew out of a sister company; Top Drawer Properties Limited, which primarily dealt with homelessness.
Emerge was originally formed in 2007 to support people with the transition from Primary and Secondary Drug/Alcohol Treatment Programmes to Third Stage Treatment. At this final stage of treatment, the primary focus is to assist reintegration into mainstream living.
While the focus on Third Stage Treatment remains imperative, Emerge has extended its remit to include vulnerable people who find themselves homeless.
This extension is a result of seeing too many vulnerable people failing to obtain suitable housing and support in Bristol. Emerge also has a strong association with Acorn Care Providers, a residential care home for adults with learning difficulties.
