Volunteers can visit with our residents and host games nights, movie nights, karaoke parties, help with GED reading, go walking, etc. It's really important to have volunteer groups come because it helps bring residents out of their rooms to work on social skills. Games like monopoly help build social and math skills, and helps them learn to cheer others on. A group of 10-15 volunteers would be divided up between 2-3 houses. Events can take place weekdays, weeknights, or weekends.

About Tender Mercies
Location:
27 West 12th Street, Cincinnati, OH 45202, US
Mission Statement
Tender Mercies transforms the lives of homeless adults with mental illness by providing security, dignity, and community in a place they call home. Security means a housing environment where residents' personal safety is a priority. Dignity means a housing environment that allows residents to develop personal, social, and economic strengths. And community is a regular, predictable housing environment that offers a sense of family, while affirming the individual.
Description
Tender Mercies is a vibrant community that achieves our mission by maintaining 134 units of permanent supportive housing and 16 units of transitional housing in 6 buildings in Over-the-Rhine. Our model of housing is based on the belief that by addressing the root causes of homelessness, we can help an individual break the cycle of homelessness once he or she leaves Tender Mercies. We accomplish our goals by providing an array of supportive services coupled with housing.
