Mercy Housing’s Response to COVID-19 (Coronavirus)

Mercy Housing is committed to supporting communities, residents, and employees’ health to slow the spread of the coronavirus. This is an anxious time for everyone. Thank you for your ongoing attention to this important matter and for your support of each other as we work through this together to keep our communities healthy. Mercy Housing is taking the following steps to ensure the health of communities and the continued service and operations of our organization:

  • We are focused on the health and safety of staff and residents. In accordance with the direction of local governments and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, we are following protocols for social distancing and isolation among staff, residents, and visitors.
  • Properties are operating because affordable housing is essential, however, activities are limited to essentials related to cleaning, health, and food security.
  • Staff are focused on supporting residents through wellness checks, assessing needs such as food and trying to help people cope with fear and anxiety.
  • We are committed to keeping residents in their homes. Support services are available to help residents on a path to resolution.

How you can help

As many residents are experiencing hardships and don’t have safety nets or resources to pull from during these turbulent times, we have set up a relief fund to help support residents with food insecurity and other related issues. Together, we will get through this and can make a difference.
