Mirci

Mirci creates pathways to recovery for individuals experiencing the adverse consequences of mental illness and/or homelessness. Through our outreach, behavioral healthcare, benefits enrollment assistance, and supportive housing services, Mirci helps individuals find a way forward when their life is at an impasse.

Mirci impacts the Midlands community through its services to individuals living with or at risk of severe and persistent mental illness and/or chronic homelessness. For over 60 years, Mirci has sought to uphold mental health by helping these individuals regain stability and independence in their lives. We do this through:

-Outreach
Mirci's outreach team visits parks, shelters, bus stations, and other areas where unsheltered individuals are known to congregate, providing hygiene kits and foodstuffs, screening individuals for health and housing needs, and making referrals to both Mirci services and those of our community partners.

-Clinical Services
Clients in Mirci's behavioral healthcare services receive long-term psychiatric care and case management. Many clients receive Assertive Community Treatment, an intensive, community-based care model designed for services to be provided in the client's home or other comfortable location, and whose teams include psychiatrists, clinicians, and nurses.

-Supportive Housing
Mirci houses over 300 clients who have experienced or are at-risk of chronic homelessness per year in permanent supportive housing units throughout the Midlands.

Testimonials

"Things are as good and stable as they've ever been. Mirci didn't let me fall, and it has supported me in making good choices for years. It gave me a home. Now I want to give back as much as I can to others."

Mona, 66, Mirci client:
"Just having a stable home, a place I can go out and come back to, it means everything to me. It's something I had never experienced before Mirci. My mental health is a whole lot better because of having a home and having support. I'm so thankful for Mirci."
