Private families or DCFS maintain guardianship of the young people who live at attend Mercy Home. Mercy Home does not attain or assume guardianship for any reason. Our goal is to reunite youth with their families after a successful year at Mercy Home. However; in certain situations, this reunification is not possible or beneficial for the child. In these delicate circumstances, the resident may continue at Mercy Home.
