MHDCC is the only certified domestic violence program in the Purchase Area Development District. Along with a 36-bed emergency shelter, the MHDCC offers a variety of intervention and prevention programs. The Purchase Area Development District is made up of the 8 most western counties in the state of Kentucky: Ballard, Calloway, Carlisle, Fulton, Graves, Hickman, Marshall, and McCracken. Over time,
the Merryman House has become much more than an emergency shelter. It has become a comprehensive advocacy and support center that is devoted to addressing the comprehensive needs of survivors. From its founding to the present, the Merryman House Domestic Crisis Center is committed to Saving, Building and Changing the lives of those affected by domestic violence. Domestic violence services are funded, in part from federal and state funds provided by the Cabinet for Health and Family Services through a contract with ZeroV. The Merryman House Domestic Crisis Center provides services free of charge to survivors of domestic violence and their dependents without regard to race, color, national origin, ethnic origin, religion, creed, age, physical or mental disability, veteran status, uniformed services, political belief, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, pregnancy or other health status, social or economic status, non-violent criminal history, citizenship, immigration status, marital status, or language spoken.
