What We Do: Overview Multi-Family Housing Program Merced owns or has developed 13 quality, affordable homes for 1,450 families in these Texas cities: San Antonio, Somerset, Conroe, Corpus Christi, Fort Worth, Karnes City and Goliad. Through our multi-family, single-family and Owner-Occupied Emergency Repairs Programs, Merced serves more than 1,949 households. When developments currently in the pipeline are complete, Merced will serve more than 2,984 households in Bexar, Montgomery, Nueces and Goliad counties in Texas. At Merced, we believe in providing more than simply shelter. In keeping with our mission, we provide services at our multi-family properties that support residents’ efforts to raise healthy families and become self-sufficient, fully participating members of society. Resident Services Program At each multi-family property, we provide services to help residents achieve self sufficiency. The Resident Services program has four focus areas: youth, education and employment, financial literacy, and health. Services are provided on-site or through a referral system. A Resident Services Coordinator works at each property to bring events, activities and resources to residents. A significant percentage of residents in two of Merced's multi-family properties are military families, and Merced considers the special needs of military families. Single-Family Program Merced’s Single-Family Program revitalizes inner-city neighborhoods by providing home-ownership opportunities to low-income families. Merced acquires dilapidated homes and completely rehabilitates them or constructs new infill homes and sells them to qualifying low-income families. Serve Our Seniors (SOS) Minor Repair Program Through the Serve Our Seniors Minor Repair Program, Merced helps extremely low-income senior and disabled homeowners who cannot afford to keep their homes safe, sanitary or structurally sound. Merced makes health- and safety-related repairs at no cost to the homeowners. The SOS Program enables very low-income senior and disabled persons to stay in the homes they own and love. We also have found that receiving SOS assistance often restores faith and hope to seniors whose existence has become bleak because of their limited means.
