At Pillars of Pettis County, we understand that life can bring unexpected barriers that make finding and keeping a home feel impossible. Our program is designed to help you clear those hurdles, but because we work through a specific collaborative model, your journey begins with our partners.
Pillars of Pettis County is a referral-based program. We do not accept direct applications. To see if you qualify for our housing and mentoring support, you must first complete an assessment at Mercy Services United.
Why start there? Mercy Services acts as the “front door” for community resources in Pettis County. They will help you identify your immediate needs and determine if the Pillars goal-focused program is the best fit for your family’s success.
