Learn more about Prop 5 and how it can positively impact your community here: https://lnkd.in/gxEjBzBK Prop 5 makes it easier for local voters to approve affordable housing and infrastructure bonds, which helps with building and preserving affordable housing! California is facing a massive shortage of affordable housing and a backlog on critically needed repairs for public infrastructure like roads, water, transit and emergency services. Voters strongly prefer local solutions to these problems, but state law restricts the ability of local voters to approve housing and infrastructure bonds for their communities. #AffordableHousing #CommunitySupport #AffordableHomes #Prop5

We are excited to highlight our Property Partner of the Year at our annual Partner's Celebration Event on October 30th! Congratulations to RURAL COMMUNITIES HOUSING DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION's Pine Hill Village! "Building affordable housing is a complex and lengthy process that takes significant support from public and private organizations. We are extremely grateful to Merritt for their continued partnership and support of our rural communities," shared Ryan LaRue, RCH's CEO. "Merritt's investment is not just financial; it's a vote of confidence in our vision and a catalyst for our success in creating excellent quality affordable housing. We deeply appreciate the trust and support in our mission." RSVP to celebrate our partners and 35 years of Merritt here: https://lnkd.in/guNRkMYJ Pine Hill Village brought 30 new units of affordable housing for homeless and low-income households outside Eureka, CA. Pine Hill provides sorely needed permanent supportive housing to 14 homeless households and 15 very low-income individuals and families in Humboldt County, along with wrap-around on-site supportive services provided by Humboldt County Department of Health and Human Services. #Partner #Event #35Years #AffordableHousing #AfforableHomes
