Mercy Home for Boys & Girls is an American privately funded childcare and residential home for abused, homeless and neglected children.
Founded in 1887 in Chicago by Fr. Louis Campbell, a Chicago priest, the shelter's original mission was to house homeless, orphaned, and abandoned boys in and around the Chicago area. Under the initial guidance of the Archdiocese of Chicago, a struggling orphanage became a boys home under the name of the Mission of our Lady of Mercy.
Mercy Home began accepting girls in 1987. Three years later, it was renamed Mercy Home for Boys and Girls. Mercy Home is composed of two separate campuses where abused and neglected children are cared for—the Boys' Campus, located in Chicago's West Loop area, and the Girls' Campus, located south, in Chicago's Beverly community.
Today, abused and neglected children (both boys and girls) are assisted by one of Mercy Home's fourteen residential programs.
