Mercy Center
Mercy Center is our 8–bed residential program for homeless teens and young women, ages 16-21. Youth who find themselves forced to leave home may refer themselves, they do not need to be referred by a counselor, school, or the legal system. Mercy Center is voluntary, a resident may leave at any time, though most stay and learn valuable independent living skills.
Residents live in a safe, structured environment, work in the community, attend school, and receive case management, counseling, psychiatric services if needed, and ongoing learning in the home environment. We work with schools, probation, CPS, youth bureaus, and other group homes, and are a viable option for youth aging out of foster care. Mercy Center does not assume legal guardianship, and family reunification is the ultimate goal when ever possible.
If you or someone you know needs a safe structured home environment because they cannot live at home, please call 631-758-7616 for information or to set up and interview.
