In some instances, there may be a wait to enter the Home. Some of the individual programs fill up and we begin a waitlist on a first-come-first-serve basis. Being on the waitlist does not mean a youth has been accepted - just that he or she is waiting to go forward with the admissions process. We do our best to predict when a space will be available. For those whom Mercy Home cannot admit, we do everything right away to help them in their moment of crisis. We provide them with access to a network of support agencies that may be able to address their specific needs.
