How you help	The core of Tender Mercies’ mission is our permanent housing program, which focuses on rebuilding health, independence, and self-sufficiency for adults experiencing homelessness and mental illness. To address the root causes of homelessness, we provide permanent housing and support services in 6 buildings in the Over-the-Rhine and the West End communities of Cincinnati with 24/7 staffing. This program helps the residents improve their quality of life and regain their independence with safe, private housing and support services that foster: • Security – an environment where residents’ personal safety is a priority. • Dignity – an environment that allows residents to develop personal, social and economic strengths. • Community – a regular, predictable environment with a sense of belonging, family, and affirmation of individuals.

About us	Tender Mercies provides a home with caring support to adults with mental illness struggling to survive. We make it possible for men and women experiencing the trauma of homelessness with mental illness to recover and rebuild. Compassion drives us to create Security, Dignity, and Community We believe in the opportunity to thrive and grow. Transformation inspires us and brings hope and promise. We are Tender Mercies. Making Home Possible Every Day.
