Mercy Housing

🗳️Why Voting Matters: A Message from Maureen🗳️ "My name is Maureen McAleenan, and I was born in Ireland I moved to San Francisco in 1995. I have now worked for Mercy Housing for over 29+ years I am based out of our San Francisco office. I have worked and traveled round many of the great states Mercy Housing is based in as a Regional Management Specialist, I was so excited in 2023 to become a US Citizen and last week working on our new lease up in San Francisco Star View Court for the first time I was able to register to vote. I am excited to vote as it gives me a voice and allows me to vote for people and the laws that shape the direction of all our communities we serve. I urge all the Mercy Housing staff that can register and vote to do the same. In this critical election we all need to do our part and VOTE!" Maureen's story reminds us of the importance of participating in our democracy. Whether it's your first time or you're a seasoned voter, your voice matters. Make sure you’re registered and ready to vote early or on November 5th. #MercyHousingCalifornia #Vote2024 #YourVoteMatters #VoteEarly

Carlton Apartments in partnership with the Chicago Board of Elections recently hosted an event for residents. Over the course of two hours, CBE representatives shared important information on voting options—such as vote-by-mail and early polling locations—and opportunities to serve as election judges. We were thrilled to see over 30 tenants participate, including residents from Malden Arms and Miriam. There were even 10 residents who applied to work on Election Day, while several others updated their voter registrations with their current address. CBE even brought along a voting machine to give a live demonstration, helping familiarize those who may be new to the electronic voting system. We're proud of our residents and their strong civic engagement! #MercyHousingLakefront #AffordableHousing #RegisteredVoters #CivicDuty #Election2024

✨ Celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month ✨ The stories of the Hispanic and LatinX communities make everyone richer in knowledge, more respectful with a greater perspective, more just by ensuring fair and equitable access, opportunity, and advancement for all, and more compassionate with mercy. This year, we celebrated with a lunch and learn loiteria! Players stopped by to play a few rounds of Latin Bingo while enjoying snacks from Latin American Countries and learning facts about Hispanic Heritage Month.

Thank you USA TODAY for publishing my op-ed on my family's experience during Hurricane Helene and putting a spotlight on the impact of climate disasters on disabled people. I'm also grateful for organizations like Disability Law United, New Disabled South, The Arc of the United States and so many other organizations that are partnering with disabled people to advance disability rights. Disabled people are up to four times more likely to die or be seriously injured during a climate disaster. This is entirely preventable. We must center disabled people in climate change conversations and climate disaster planning.

At #MercyHousingNorthwest community Cedar Crossing, we're witnessing the incredible outcomes that happen when public and private sectors join forces. Through partnerships with Sound Transit, the City of Seattle, and Bellwether Housing, this community is a shining example of what the future of #AffordableHousing can look like when collaboration leads the way.

During her time at Mercy Housing, she has "... blessed with the opportunity to meet some amazing people that have come into my life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime." With no shortage of memories and stories to share, most impactful is Sister Lillian Murphy. "...She came into my life for a lifetime. She was strong, determined, fearless and yet so down to earth; a nun in a purple track suit." After being in the in the administrative profession for 34 years, Cherie shares that, "I am accomplished at my job because my attributes are heightened. In the several jobs that I have had, Mercy Housing let's me be me. I do not have to pretend to be someone I am not to fit in.
