The Sisters of Mercy founded Mercy Housing, giving us the foresight and leadership that enabled us to become the leader in affordable housing and Resident Services. They envisioned affordable housing to always offer the Resident Services that, today, keep our organization impactful. Women Religious laid the foundation for Mercy Housing to be more than four walls and a roof, pushing us to pioneer innovation in healthcare and housing models since the beginning.

Communities of Women Religious have sustained and supported Mercy Housing since our founding. Today, more than a quarter of our housing portfolio was made possible by investments from the Sisters. The legacy of the Sisters permeates throughout our core values of respect, justice, and mercy. Women Religious will forever be a source of encouragement and spiritual support as we follow the Sisters’ tradition to speak and act in the belief that affordable housing is a basic human right, no matter a persons religion, background, or beliefs.
