Providing shelter and support to homeless, pregnant and parenting teens, young women and their children.

Description:
Mercy Residential Services, a ministry of the Sisters of Mercy, provides a continuum of quality residential programs and support services to pregnant and parenting women and their children.

Our programs offer transitional housing and life skills in a nurturing environment. A holistic approach is used to empower women in their development of healthy relationships and self-sufficiency.

History:
Started in 1980 as a Catholic Worker Organization, Melita House has provided shelter to young pregnant women for over 25 years. In 1998 the organization expanded to include transitional housing for young moms and babies after delivery of their children, and is now known as Mercy Residential Services.
