Our Programs
Mercy exists to meet the needs of people experiencing circumstantial crisis and housing insecurity.
At Mercy Support Services, we are dedicated to empowering individuals and families who seek our services with structured support programs designed to build stability and independence. Our Programs are designed to assist families who are homeless or in threat of being homeless in Clay County with stabilized housing, financial training, life skills building, and accountability. Through Mercy’s successful process, we address their emotional, mental and spiritual wellbeing, ultimately bringing them to a place of knowing and relying on God.​
SELF-SUFFICIENCY PROGRAM
Mercy's Self-Sufficiency Program supports homeless individuals who desire lasting transformation and self-sufficiency. We begin by addressing the most urgent need—safe, supportive housing—so families can stabilize and begin focusing on long-term goals. Through our faith-based life coaching model and personalized success plans, clients are equipped with the tools, accountability, and encouragement they need to grow, overcome barriers, and thrive. Our goal is to guide each person not just to make a living, but to truly live with purpose.
