A place to live, and a way to grow.™

Our MISSION

MERCY Communities is a 501(c)(3), not-for-profit organization dedicated to addressing the crisis of family homelessness by providing housing and supportive services  to foster the independence of homeless women with children and at-risk women with children.

​

Since 1999 we have served roughly 1,700 clients (adults and their children). MERCY Communities has grown from providing 10 units of housing in 1999 to 35+ units in 2024. In fiscal year 2024, MERCY Communities housed and supported 49 families with 51 adults and 103 children.

TEEN wish list


Thanks to such a generous community, we are able to provide our clients with wonderful support. We are often asked what we still need.... The answer is always gifts for TEENS.

More Than a place to stay

Our professional staff meet one on one at least weekly with the clients and their children.

In addition, one evening per week, MERCY hosts various speakers, activities, demonstrations, videos, educators and community volunteers to provide small life skill sessions centered on the pillars of self-sufficiency: housing, parenting, budgeting and life skills. 

Children also are provided with counseling, as needed, with emphasis on educational achievements. We are thankful for your support!
