for 30 years
Dear Friends,
Thirty years ago, the Sisters of Mercy of Connecticut saw a need to help homeless
individuals and addressed it. St. Elizabeth House on Main Street in Hartford, a shelter
and rooming house, would be sold and more than sixty people would become homeless.
The Friendship Center that provided meals to people who could not provide for themselves
would close. The loss would have had a significant impact on a large number of men,
women and children as well as the larger community.
When the Sisters became aware of this they decided to purchase the building to prevent
the loss of housing and keep The Friendship Center operating. Mercy Housing and Shelter
Corporation was founded to continue providing these vital services to the community.
Since 1983, Mercy has grown tremendously. From its beginning at St. Elizabeth House,
Mercy has expanded its services to nine distinct programs at six sites. Our programs help
people move out of homelessness into permanent housing, but we do much more than
that. We help people cope with the challenges of mental illness and homelessness.
Individuals and families confronted with a diagnosis of HIV+ or AIDS need support with
learning to live with this disease. Abuse of substances often is an issue for our clients.
Addressing all of these challenges is what our staff does. They walk with our residents
on their journey of recovery and hope. Our goal for each person who comes to Mercy is
to move them into their own housing with a sense of dignity – like everyone else. We are
proud of all we have accomplished with your help.
In 1983, the Sisters of Mercy made an investment in a building and some otherwise homeless
and hungry people. That investment has paid so much in dividends for so many people, and
saved thousands of lives. The original building, St. Elizabeth House, has served us well but is
in need of significant renovation. We are making a second investment to totally renovate
the facility. A campaign has raised $3.5 million to that end. The exterior is completed
and looks elegant! We now need to do the interior in order to improve the delivery of the
services we provide. In order to accomplish this, another $2 million is needed to complete
the entire renovation.
With this report we wish to thank each of you who have invested in our mission and joined
us in our effort to end homelessness. Without your considerable help we could not have
done what we did this past year.
Thank you for partnering with us. Together we can end homelessness for each person who
comes to us and change the systems that contribute to homelessness as we know it today.
Because of you . . .
Mercy’s programs served more than
5,700 individuals who were homeless
or at risk of becoming homeless from
July 1, 2011 – June 30, 2012:
U St. Elizabeth House and Shepherd
Home provided 353 individuals with
transitional housing and services
U Catherine’s Place provided housing
and support to 45 women
U The Residence at St. Mary’s provided
permanent supportive housing for
21 individuals
U Supportive Housing Services assisted
89 households, which included
188 individuals and children,
in scattered-site housing
U Friendship Center served 67,243
meals to 5,101 individuals

“I became homeless when I fled in the
middle of the night from an abusive
marriage. I left behind a home, a good
job – an entire life. To say that I am in
“transitional housing” and put this
on job applications and wonder if
people are going to judge me is very,
very difficult. Mercy has helped me find
myself through therapy, education and
employment. I know that I will be a
success story for Mercy.” A client

After a few months, I was given a room.
I knew I was still homeless, but now
I wasn’t on the street anymore.
My case manager worked with me
to set goals, and influenced me in
going back to school. I am studying
for an Associate’s Degree so I can
become a medical assistant. I have
been working for a national grocery
store chain for a year and a half
and after 19 months of living at
St. Elizabeth House I moved into
my own apartment. Mercy gave me
a new beginning.”

“I became homeless when my world
around me collapsed. I witnessed a
horrific construction accident that took
the lives of twenty-eight co-workers.
It took a toll on my life and marriage.
I found myself sleeping under the
bushes outside the home I used to own.
Mercy provided me with respect and
dignity. I’ve been living in my
apartment now for two years.
Mercy was the hand that pulled me
back up, they gave me my world back.”

Our Volunteers
Thank you to the amazing Volunteers who give generously of
their time and come with their office, faith community or group
of friends to prepare and serve meals in the programs as well as
help with year round projects. The countless hours that you give
are greatly appreciated by our clients and us. Mercy couldn’t
provide the services that we do without your help.
In Kind Donations of Goods and Services
Thank you for your generous donations of goods and services.
The hundreds of towels, bed linens, pillows, toiletries, back to
school backpacks, Christmas gifts, Easter baskets, holiday meals
and countless other donations of housewares, furniture and new
clothing enhance the services that we provide allowing us to help
a homeless individual feel more “at home”.
