Mercy Center

Mercy Center is a "haven" in Mott Haven, a community center offering programs and services that empower women and their families to reach their full potential and become agents of change for healthy family living and economic independence. Center promotes an improved quality of life, by addressing the needs of the whole person in a community of respect, hospitality and non-violence.

 

Mercy Center is home to one of the poorest Congressional Districts (16th) in the United States.

Through programs and a full complement of support services, Mercy Center addresses four critical problems facing people who live in the Mott Haven section of the South Bronx:

  •    unemployment and economic poverty

  •    violent and oppressive behaviors in families and the community 

  •    overburdened and underperforming schools 

  •    the powerlessness and estrangement that accompanies the isolation of the immigrant experience

 

At Mercy Center participants experience the community, skill building and transformation that empowers them to take charge of their future and pursue their goals for an improved quality of life.
