THE MERCY HOUSE MISSION & VISION:

At a time when Black communities continue to face displacement, environmental racism, and economic stress, Mercy House demonstrates how regeneration can be both spiritual and structural.

Across the nation, a new wave of reverse migration is unfolding as Black families and culture-keepers return to ancestral lands across the Southern US. Mercy House serves as a landing place for this movement, offering a model for how healing, entrepreneurship, and ecological restoration can coexist.

Our work connects the call for reparations to the practice of land reclamation, turning once-oppressive geographies into places of belonging and cooperative wealth generation. By restoring 90 acres of Black-owned land in Pulaski, Tennessee, a site historically associated with the origins of the Klan and forced removal of indigenous peoples, we are transmuting the legacy of violence into a blueprint for collective healing and prosperity.

MERCY HOUSE’S THREE PROJECT SCOPES FORM AN ECONOMIC ECOSYSTEM DESIGNED TO NURTURE:

Co-living and co-wellness through shared stewardship and time-share opportunities

Profit-sharing and community investment that recirculates wealth within the cooperative

Workforce development through ecological and cultural skill-building

Economic sovereignty through cooperative business models and revenue-sharing

In today’s social and political climate — where equity, sustainability, and reparative economics are converging. Mercy House offers a tangible, holistic response. It stands as a demonstration of what becomes possible when we restore relationship to Love, Land, and Memory and when justice is not merely an idea, but a living landscape.

Mercy House commits to healing historical harm and regenerate land, culture, and economy through cooperative ownership, ecological design, and narrative restoration. We aim to become a Black agrarian model for liberation ecology, where economic sovereignty, creative consciousness, and ancestral reverence converge to cultivate the next generation of land stewards, wellness leaders, and cultural practitioners.
