• Specific criteria may vary by program

If the Mercy House programs do not meet your specific needs, then we encourage you to call 211 Orange County/San Bernadino by dialing 2-1-1 or 1-888-600-4357. 211 provides comprehensive information and referrals that link residents to community health and human services and support.
