Housing
Housing is at the heart of Mercy Haven’s mission.
At Mercy Haven, we believe that safe, stable housing is the foundation for a brighter future. Our housing programs provide individuals and families facing homelessness, mental illness, and economic hardship with more than just a roof over their heads—they offer security, dignity, and a chance to rebuild. Through a range of supportive housing options, we strive to create opportunities for long-term stability, independence, and community connection across Long Island.
For Mental Health
Mercy Haven provides access to mental health housing through Long Island’s Single Point of Access (SPA) system. This centralized system streamlines the application process for individuals needing supportive housing.

For the Homeless
Mercy Haven provides housing for individuals and families experiencing homelessness. Eligibility requires a documented case of homelessness through the Suffolk County Department of Social Services (DSS). If you or someone you know needs assistance, we encourage you to explore available resources and take the next step toward securing stable housing.
HIPAA Privacy
Protecting your privacy is important to us. To learn more about how your personal health information is handled and safeguarded, read our HIPAA Notice of Privacy. This notice outlines your rights, how your information may be used, and the steps we take to ensure confidentiality.
Tailored Housing Solutions to Meet Individual Needs
Medical Respite
Mercy Haven opened the first certified Medical Respite Program home on Long Island in July 2026. This home, located in Bay Shore, provides short-term recuperative care for individuals experiencing homelessness who need a safe environment to prepare for, or recover from, an injury, hospitalization, or medical procedure.
This housing is available for Nassau and Suffolk adult Medicaid recipients who are experiencing homelessness. Referrals are currently being accepted through the HEALI 1115 Waiver Social Care Network. Call Donna O’Hearon, Director of Residential Services, at Mercy Haven for more details on the referral process and partnership opportunities (631) 277-8300 ext. 330.
