Mercy Housing Northwest

Mission

Mercy Housing's mission is to create stable, vibrant and healthy communities by developing, financing and operating affordable, program-enriched housing for families, seniors and people with special needs who lack the economic resources to access quality, safe housing opportunities.

Currently, MHNW has over 6,000 residents, including children, adults and seniors across 54 properties in Washington, Idaho, and Oregon. We know that having a home is often just the start of a person’s journey to stability, which is why we provide Resident Services in addition to housing. 

Description

Last year, thanks to our community of supporters, we distributed over 1,000 backpacks filled with school supplies for all ages. The students who call Mercy Housing Northwest home went back-to-school with everything they needed to start the school year off on the right foot. We accomplished this because of supporters like you. 

But backpacks are just the beginning. They open the door to a conversation between our Youth in School Liaison staff, parents/guardians, teachers, school administrators, and a community of volunteers. In times like these, the relationships between our staff and our residents allow us to adapt and react to support every person who lives in a Mercy Housing community. Whether it is providing food pantries in communities with food insecurity, after school support for kids, or health education for seniors, our resident services staff show up for our communities. 

Unrestricted funds from individuals provide the most flexibility as the world shifts around us. When you support Mercy Housing Northwest during Give BIG 2025, you are joining this community and rallying around our neighbors. You are enabling our staff to make the decisions that have the biggest impact on the communities they serve. We can't do it without you! Together, we can build the world we want to see, one community at a time.
