A safe, Christ-centered home for a woman with nowhere else to go.
Mercy Manor is a one-year residential program for women facing homelessness — and the abuse, addiction, and hard turns that so often lead there — giving them a year, and the tools, to rebuild body, mind, and spirit. The facility is secured. Now we're preparing it to open.

Our mission: to provide a safe, Christ-centered environment for women wanting to start anew, equipping them with the tools they will need to move forward in their lives.
Women who need a safe place to call home.
Almost every woman who comes to Mercy Manor shares one thing: she has nowhere safe to live, or she can see it coming. A job that ended, a marriage that ended, a prison sentence that ended — and nowhere at all to go next.
Often, homelessness arrives tangled up with harder things — drug or alcohol abuse, prescription dependency, the long aftermath of abuse, depression, a past she didn't choose. For others, none of that: simply a life that came apart. You do not have to be in the worst shape of your life to belong here. The thread they share is that they need a home, and they are ready to begin again.
Prayer & Structure
Daily prayer, Bible study, scripture memorization, and biblical counseling ground every day of the program.
Life & Leadership Skills
Educational and career counseling, financial management training, and real work assignments build practical footing.
A Sincere Desire for Change
The one requirement: a heart willing to commit to the full one-year, curriculum-based program.
Sharon King had already retired from this work once.
After years as Executive Director of Sanctified Hope, a transitional home for women coming directly out of prison, Sharon retired — for six months. Twice in one week, she had the same dream: start a homeless ministry for women, and name it Mercy Manor. She asked God for more confirmation. She got it, over and over again.
Referring a woman, or building a partnership?
Mercy Manor's own board includes a Hood County Crime Victim Liaison, a nurse who built Hope Mission's 24-bed women's recovery program in Edmonton from nothing — and kept it full, and leaders already active in Granbury's nonprofit community. This is a ministry built to work alongside the organizations already doing this work. And for churches, there is now a front door built just for you: The Twelve — twelve churches, each carrying one of the home's twelve places.
We have the building. What's left is everything that makes it a home.
Every gift right now goes toward the last stretch: furnishing, staffing, and the everyday needs — from crib sheets to a working vehicle — that turn a secured building into a working home.
