Mercy Anchor Community Center
Opened in 2023, the Mercy Anchor Community Center (MACC) transformed the former Holy Rosary School into a hub of housing and support—doubling both the number of individuals the Mercy Center can serve and the services available to the community.
The 39,000 square foot MACC building features 13 two-bedroom apartments for men, women, and children, offering safe, affordable housing with access to on-site resources that promote long-term stability and independence. What was once a vacant building is now a vibrant community space providing wraparound services such as education, workforce development, food access, health services, recovery support, and fitness opportunities.
Made possible by the generosity of donors and completed debt-free, MACC allows the Mercy Center to house up to 64 individuals at a time across its programs while continuing to serve many more throughout the year.
MACC is more than housing—it is a place where individuals and families can rebuild, connect, and move forward.
