The home has a capacity for eight women and their babies. House Managers and an onsite Case Manager care for the residents. Each woman is invited to stay for up to six months after birth. The average stay at Mercy House can be six to nine months under some circumstances.Our goal for each of our residents is graduation from our program with a healthy baby, personal healing and restoration, feeling equipped to parent, or empowered and supported to place their baby for adoption. During their stay with us, we prioritize improving life skills, parenting education, and acquisition of a higher level of education than previously achieved. This ranges from working toward a general equivalency diploma, acquiring a vocational trade, or online/attendance of college classes. we also heavily focus on emotional and spiritual restoration and resolution. These goals are achieved through a team of staff, volunteers, mentors and professional counselors.Fifteen women were served this year. These services included midwifery and medical obstetrical care, childbirth education, dental care, professional counseling, Celebrate Recovery addiction counseling, nutritional training, emotional and spiritual healing and recovery and Baby Boot Camp.* We assisted each resident in obtaining WIC, Medicaid, and educational advancement. In some cases, Mercy House funded the educational requirements or found scholarships through interested donors.*Our Baby Boot Camp curriculum is designed to prepare our residents with skills such as childbirth education, breast feeding instruction, infant care, parenting instruction, car seat safety training, CPR and First Aid, Financial Peace (a money management curriculum), and Shaken Baby Syndrome demonstrations with a manikin. In addition to our own curriculum, we partner with other organizations and churches who provide periodic specialized trainings that are applicable to our residents' needs such as Bible studies and Boundaries classes.Each resident was assisted with exit plans from our program. Most move on to transitional housing programs, and some return to their homes to establish their own households. We endeavor to stay in communication with each resident that desires our ongoing support. 209729 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 3 0 true 7 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false false false X 6 6 false false false false false false false true false false false true true true false false true true true false X X Beverly Hallett 8179461619 6504 Horseshoe Bnd Colleyville TX 76034 X Susan Hulet Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Harkins Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Beverly Hallett Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Yvonne Schnitzius Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jon Blume President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Marcy Barkemeyer Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 41937 289730 331667 0 310 310 0 0 0 0 41937 17099 -17099 -17099 0 0 0 314878 310 -17099 0 0 0 0 0 0 105526 74924 14074 16528 0 0 8073 5732 1077 1264 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 22044 22044 3890 3890 0 0 97531 97531 0 0 0 0 0 0 1931 1931 Client Expenses 30775 30775 Merchant fees 3750 3750 Other administrative expense 2187 2187 Volunteer expenses 1414 552 25 837 612 215 153 244 277733 209729 27087 40917 13143 6456 72152 16896 0 3017 5516 0 0 0 0 15786 10125 567633 40363 567633 0 0 0 0 5050 0 149511 606626 2156 5020 2000 415105 1 2156 422126 X 147355 184500 147355 184500 149511 606626 37145 X false false false X 204329 309923 254971 260228 314568 1344019 0 0 204329 309923 254971 260228 314568 1344019 138797 1205222 189 530 787 689 310 2505 0 0 1346524 0.89510 0.87810 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 527270 527270 2355 2355 38008 38008 567633 Rounding 1 1 false Dinner 41937 41937 14817 2282 41937 41937 14817 2282 17099 -17099 Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process The content of the Form 990 is reviewed and verified with the Executive Director before finalization.
