Williamsburg House of Mercy provides quality compassionate human services to all people, especially the most vulnerable, regardless of faith.  They provide a safe and welcoming environment for area homeless to find respite, receive services, and work toward ending their homelessness, and emergency assistance and supportive services to those struggling to maintain housing and regain stability.

Williamsburg House of Mercy envisions a community where no one will ever have to spend a night on the streets or in the woods because he or she cannot find or afford safe housing.  They believe that safe, affordable housing, and a livable wage is a fundamental human right, and that every person, regardless of class, condition, color, gender, orientation or belief system was created to live a full, rich life.
