About
Mercy Multiplied is a Christian nonprofit organization offering residential care, outpatient counseling, and discipleship resources. Its residential program serves young women ages 13 to 32 and is described by the organization as voluntary, biblically based, and free of charge (Mercy Multiplied, residential program).
The organization traces its origin to 1983, when Nancy Alcorn founded Mercy Ministries in Monroe, Louisiana. Its public history states that a second residential location opened in Nashville, Tennessee, in 1995, and that the organization later expanded to additional locations and international affiliates before adopting the Mercy Multiplied name (about Mercy Multiplied).
Mercy describes the residential program as lasting most commonly six to nine months. A 2023 anniversary release stated that the Nashville home serves minors who continue education during their stay and houses women facing unplanned pregnancy (PR Newswire).
