Nonprofit Spotlight: Mercy Housing

As a provider of investment advice to numerous nonprofit organizations, Innovest has the privilege of introducing you to some of our fantastic clients. This month we are proud to feature Mercy Housing.

Mercy Housing, the country's largest nonprofit for affordable housing, builds and provides affordable homes with onsite Resident Services for people with low income. Mercy Housing, founded by the Sisters of Mercy, has affordable housing communities across 21 states, where 43,000 residents call it home. These communities offer a range of programming, classes, and events focused on Financial Literacy, Health & Wellness, Out-of-School Time activities for youth, and more.

Founded in 1981, Mercy Housing believes that housing justice is social justice. The organization lives by the values of respect, justice, and mercy for over 40 years. Mercy Housing's mission is to develop, finance, and operate affordable, program-enriched housing for families, seniors, people with special needs, and people exiting homelessness who lack the economic resources to access quality, safe housing opportunities.

There are several ways to support Mercy Housing. Learn more about how to give by visiting www.mercyhousing.org/give-help/. Mercy Housing has actively worked to address the shortage of affordable housing across the country. Every day, the organization strives to achieve more than constructing buildings – they aim to build communities in cities like San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago, Denver, and Atlanta, where every person has the tools to live up to their full potential.
