| 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. |
