Mercy Housing and Shelter Corporation

Mercy Housing and Shelter Corporation is a Hartford-based organization that has operated since 1983 and assisted thousands of individuals in the local community. Its work combines housing with supportive services intended to help people address barriers to stability.

Programs described by Mercy include short- and long-term residential housing for adults experiencing homelessness, with case management and other supports. Its offerings include transitional housing, short-term respite housing for adults experiencing mental health crises, and housing and support for people living with HIV/AIDS. Mercy also provides permanent supportive housing that combines rental assistance with services for people with very low incomes and serious, persistent conditions.

Through shelter diversion and rapid rehousing, Mercy connects people experiencing a housing crisis with alternative housing options, resources, targeted financial assistance, and short-term services.
