"Emmanuel" is not just a promise—it’s a calling: A call to RESTORE broken neighborhoods for the benefit of all.

The Emmanuel House Team: Emmanuel House CDC is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to helping working-class families save and work their way out of poverty in a responsible & dignified manner. There are several locations/apartments or “houses” and each one operates the same way: Families pay regular rent—the majority of which goes into their own down-payment fund so we can help them buy their first home. Our Mission is “Breaking the Cycle of Working-Class Poverty through Homeownership” • Strengthening family stability through home ownership & savings; • Strengthening kids through expanded educational opportunities; • Strengthening communities by increasing ownership & investment in neighborhoods. Emmanuel House was originally named in memory of BRYAN EMMANUEL GUZMAN (1985-2006) who passed away in a tragic drowning accident in 2006. The project was started through an existing non-profit established in 2002, with which Bryan had been very involved—and to this day the original “Bryan House” continues to focus on serving the diverse population of refugees being resettled in Aurora, IL.
