    About The Well of Mercy

    The Well of Mercy is a nonprofit, long-term transitional housing program providing safe, stable housing and a pathway to independence for women and their children in Chicago for up to five years. Through stability, education, and compassion, we help families with the resources and support they need to rebuild their lives with dignity and hope.

    • Maintain confidentiality and accuracy in all documentation
