Our many gatherings and much planning, our first house, Mercy Center opened in 1983. Mercy Residence opened in 1987 to house pregnant/parenting teens, Mercy House opened in 1989 also serving pregnant/parenting teens. The Waverly apartments opened in 1999 to serve as a stepping stone to true independent living after time at the mom/baby house. At this time we are an established agency with structured programs and a full staff of dedicated individuals. We have a healthy blend of state, business, county, and private funding, as well as our own fundraising events.
