How do they enhance our community?
House of Mercy’s initial focus was on assisting pregnant, parenting, and non-parenting women in developing responsibility and independence through counseling, education, and primary medical care. Over the years, House of Mercy’s emphasis has evolved and expanded into what they do today.
"We are dedicated to being a preeminent provider of these vital services to all in need in our community, regardless of gender and parenting status." - House of Mercy
Why is financial literacy important?
House of Mercy believes that everyone has the ability to changes their lives, provided they have access to the necessary resources. It is important to identify challenges, strengths, and where impulsive decision making is happening to build the necessary skills to become financially independent.
" It is our goal to remove all of the barriers a person experiences to gaining access to assistance (e.g., housing, transportation, finances, child care, absence of medical/mental health coverage, etc.) except the one obstacle that only the client controls—his/her desire and motivation to change." - House of Mercy
