MercyHousing

very day, Mercy Housing strives to create stable,vibrant, healthy, communities across the nation.One of the biggest lessons we’ve learned over theyears is that we cannot achieve our mission byourselves. We need the support and expertise of real

estate development and resident services partners, health careleaders, community officials, donors and volunteers to make ourvision of a more humane world possible.

On May 17, 2008, more than 650 people who contribute toMercy Housing’s mission came together at Chicago’s UnionStation to celebrate our organization’s 25 years of success ofopening doors and building communities. Through ticket andtable sales, silent and live auctions, and many generoussponsors, including the event’s Presenting Partner Fannie Mae,Mercy Housing raised more than $1.4 million, helping us growcloser to our goal of creating 100,000 affordable homes for 1million people over the next five years.

About 15.8 million households in the United States areseverely cost burdened, or pay more than 50 percent of theirincome toward housing, according to the National Alliance to End Homelessness. And every day, we’re losing the affordablehomes we already have. Over the past 10 years, 170,000 public housing units and 300,000 federally subsidized private marketunits have been demolished or converted to market-rate housing.

Mercy Housing has participated in the development, preservation and/or financing of more than 34,000 affordable homes,serving more than 109,000 people on any given day. These numbers not only include what Mercy Housing has developed; theyinclude the work of our property management company, Mercy Services Corporation, the lending activities of Mercy Loan Fundand the work of our Consulting Division. All of the staff and resources behind these divisions and subsidiaries are part of MercyHousing’s mission. Without their work, the “Seven Marias” in Washington, D.C., may not have an opportunity forhomeownership, more than 50 low-income seniors in Waco, Texas, may not have the safe, affordable home they need, and 15

people with special needs in Moscow, Idaho, maynot have a stable home that caters to their needs.

You can read about all these examples of MercyHousing’s work in this report, and we lookforward to sharing many more success storieswith you in the future.

On behalf of Mercy Housing’s Co-SponsorCommunities, boards, staff members, volunteersand residents, thank you for your continuedsupport of our work.

Helping Mothers Improve Their Health

others who are concerned aboutpaying rent and utilities, raising theirchildren and putting food on the

table aren’t always placing their health at the top of theirpriority list. But Intercommunity Mercy Housing ischanging that through a women’s health program called“Healthy Mothers, Healthy Families.”

“Women generally are the health care decision-makersfor their families. They’re the ones who buy the groceriesand schedule the doctor’s appointments,” said CynthiaParker, Intercommunity Mercy Housing President.“They’re also more apt to neglect their own health due tolack of time or resources.”

Healthy Mothers, Healthy Families started as an outreacheffort by staff at Sterling Meadows in Bellingham,Washington. The property serves 50 farm worker familieswhose Hispanic heritage puts them at increased risk fordiabetes, obesity and high blood pressure. Because mostresidents work seasonally or part-time, many lacked healthinsurance and were not receiving regular preventive care.

m“Our goal is to empower low-incomewomen to take charge of their own health and the health of their families by increasing their knowledge of nutritionand health, improving their access tohealth care and teaching them how to advocate for themselves and their families within the health care system.”

~ Cynthia ParkerPresident, Intercommunity Mercy Housing


In fall 2006, Intercommunity Mercy Housing, inpartnership with St. Joseph Hospital, launched a six-weekpilot program at Sterling Meadows. The series of healtheducation workshops focused on everything from prenatalcare to diet and nutrition and were presented in small groupsessions by Spanish-speaking educators.

The pilot program was so well received that it has becomea regular weekly feature at Sterling Meadows. MercyHousing was able to leverage the success of HealthyMothers, Healthy Families to secure $7,000 in venturefunding from United Way of King County to replicate theprogram at Appian Way Apartments in Kent, Washington.While the Healthy Mothers, Healthy Families programprimarily serves the 134 women and 21 adolescent girls atAppian Way, it is open to residents of the surroundingcommunity. Half of Appian Way residents are Hispanic andthe average annual household income is $24,000. Of the 150homes at Appian Way, 15 are reserved for formerly homelessfamilies with children.

“Our goal is to empower low-income women to takecharge of their own health and the health of their families byincreasing their knowledge of nutrition and preventivehealth, improving their access to health care and teachingthem how to advocate for themselves and their familieswithin the health care system,” Parker said.

Improving Our Community’s Environment

ur mission to create healthy communities doesn’tapply only to the health of Mercy Housingresidents and staff. Mercy Housing takes the healthof the environment very seriously as well.

Mercy Housing California is a stellar example of theorganization’s charge to incorporate the highest ecologicalstandards into all aspects of its work. In 2004, the regionaloffice established an “ECOmmittee” that is committed “to theprinciples of environmental sustainability as a key expressionof Mercy Housing’s Core Values – respect, justice and mercy.”Committee members include staff from propertymanagement, resident services, property maintenance, realestate development and office management.

In 2007, the ECOmmittee’s work culminated in the creationof 10 standard operating procedures that all departments –from administration to property management to housingdevelopment – can incorporate into their work.

Standard Operating Procedures1. Buy only recycled paper for printers and copiers.2. Identify recycling program opportunities for paper at

all properties and offices.3. Set thermostats at all facilities at 68 degrees in the

winter and 75 degrees in the summer.4. Recycle all toner cartridges.5. Recycle or properly dispose of all electronic equipment,

including batteries.6. Set up recycling container and program for empty cans

and bottles at all properties and offices.7. Turn off computer work stations

at the end of the workday.8. Turn off lighting in office areas that

are unoccupied.9. Discontinue the use of Styrofoam

kitchen products.10. Use paint with low-volatile organic

compounds in construction and ongoing building maintenance.

~ Lisa Baty, Resident Services CoordinatorColumbia Park Apartments, San Francisco

The solar panels at Mission Creek Senior Community in San Francisco are an example of the green design elements the organization is using.

“We have the opportunity to improve the health of ourenvironment everyday – from using energy-efficientappliances in our new affordable housing properties toturning down the air conditioning in our offices to usingrecyclable plates and cups at community meals,” said JaneGraf, Mercy Housing California President. “MercyHousing California encourages and supports allemployees in their individual and collective efforts toreduce, reuse and recycle.”

Our homes, both rental and ownership, exceed CaliforniaTitle 24 Energy Conservation Standards, which were enactedin 1978 and are updated periodically to reduce the state’senergy consumption. For instance, all of our new propertiesinclude Energy Star-compliant appliances. We are replacingall appliances in existing housing with Energy Starappliances, as well as light bulbs with compact fluorescentlights. We also use recycled or regionally manufacturedbuilding materials, and paints and flooring adhesives thatare low in volatile organic compounds, which contain fewertoxic and carcinogenic materials.

Mercy Housing California residents are helping to improvethe health of their communities also. At Columbia ParkApartments in San Francisco, about 30 residents cometogether annually for a community clean-up. Using onlyenvironmentally friendly cleaning supplies, residents andstaff members scrub the property – from handrails to tablesto walls.

“The clean-up was organized by Resident Services andProperty Management as a way to reduce vandalism on theproperty and engender a feeling of community pride,” saidLisa Baty, Resident Services Coordinator. “Because of ourclean-up and the green supplies we used, our community isproud, happier and healthier.”

Helping ResidentsAccess FinancialStability

rom 2003 to 2007, thousands of Mercy Housingresidents across the nation had on average an extra$1,885 to spend each year thanks to the EarnedIncome Tax Credit and tax preparation services.

Through partnerships with local volunteer taxexperts, Mercy Housing offers tax preparation

services at properties in Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho,Illinois, Nebraska and Washington. In addition to offeringfree tax preparation, one of the main goals of the services isto help residents claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC),a program they may not know about otherwise. From 2003 to2007, residents received a total $2.1 million in EITC throughthe program.

“Our residents are a wonderful example of what Congresshoped to achieve by establishing the EITC program in the1970s,” said Sister Lillian Murphy, RSM, Mercy HousingCEO. “They’re using the money for necessities they could nototherwise afford. The EITC program gives residents anotherway to stabilize their lives."

For instance in Arizona, more than 1,000 residents andcommunity members completed their tax forms in 2007with help from Mercy Housing staff and qualifiedvolunteers. Mercy Housing Southwest properties in Mesawork with the City of Mesa to designate properties asVolunteer Income Tax Assistance sites, where anyone fromthe community can come for free tax-preparation classesand receive help to e-file federal and state tax returns.About a quarter of the residents who take advantage of theservice are able to claim EITC, in addition to saving anaverage of $250 on tax preparation services.

Residents have said they’re using the extra money to helpwith everything from health care to education to vacations.

“I have not had an eye exam in three years,” said VeliaEspinoze, a resident at Vista Alegra Senior Village inGlendale. “I will have one now and buy some new glasses.”



California, Illinois and Colorado –Mercy Housing and Citi launched thethird year of their successful MakingDreams Happen program in 2007.The financial education programteaches adults the skills they need toopen checking and savings accounts,establish and maintain positivecredit, and create and followhousehold budgets. The program wasoffered to Mercy Housing residentsand surrounding communitymembers in Chicago, Illinois; SanLeandro and San Francisco,California; and Denver, Colorado.

Building Seniors aSafe, Stable Home

ore than 70 families and nearly 50seniors in North Charleston, South

Carolina, are on track toward stability after moving intoMercy Housing Southeast’s two new properties there –Alston Lake and Marshside Village.

Alston Lake held its grand opening in March 2007 tocelebrate completion of the 72-unit, mixed-income familyproperty, which includes a computer lab and playground.Alston Lake was built through a partnership among Mercy

Housing, TCG Development Services, LLC, and the City ofNorth Charleston Housing Authority, as part of a largerHOPE IV Revitalization plan. HOPE VI is a U.S. Departmentof Housing and Urban Development-administered programthat is designed to replace severely distressed public housingwith new mixed-income developments.

Marshside Village, which opened to residents in August2007, is on a beautiful site overlooking a marsh and features48 homes for low-income seniors. Features include a librarywith computer lab, a kitchenette for gatherings, a sittingroom and an outdoor gazebo.

Marshside Village is located on the site of a former publichousing development. TCG Development Services, LLC, isthe master developer for the HOPE VI initiative that willtransform the site into a new community, featuring affordableand market-rate rental units, as well as homeownershipopportunities. Marshside Village serves low-income seniors,some of whom lived at the site before its redevelopment.

The North Charleston Housing Authority donated the landfor Marshside Village. A HUD 202 Capital Grant wasawarded for construction and a Project Rental AssistanceContract with HUD will help subsidize residents’ rent.

“This is exciting for the community and the residents whoare making these two, new beautiful properties their home,”said Pete Walker, President of Mercy Housing Southeast.“With a safe, affordable home, these seniors and families canfocus their energy on stabilizing their lives and improvingtheir community.

Celebrating 15 Yearsof Vibrant Housing

early two decades ago, Mercy HousingLakefront – then known as LakefrontSupportive Housing – had the foresight to seethe changes that would soon take place in

Chicago’s Uptown neighborhood. Because of theneighborhood’s proximity to the city and its rich history inarts and entertainment and community organization,developers would soon fill the streets with market-ratecondominiums, leading to a gentrification that would changethe neighborhood’s landscape.

Mercy Housing Lakefront bought and renovated twobuildings – The Malden Arms and Miriam Apartments – intosingle-room occupancy apartments for people who areformerly homeless or have special needs. In 2006 at theMalden Arms and in 2007 at The Miriam, staff and residentsat the properties celebrated the buildings’ 15 years ofproviding safe, quality housing with the services residentsneed to stabilize their lives.

The Malden Arms is home to 86 people with a medianannual income of about $11,000, and The Miriam is home tonearly 60 women with a median annual income of about$3,800. Many of the residents have battled drug addictions,abusive relationships and financial hardships. Bothproperties offer opportunities for case management, jobplacement and resident programs, including art therapyclasses and group counseling.

“Lakefront was very thoughtful about creating buildingsthat would have long-term affordability,” said Ed Jacob, CEOof North Side Community Federal Credit Union and one ofLakefront Supportive Housing's original board members. “Inthe 1980s, a lot of low-income buildings were beingdeveloped but many did not have the future in mind. As theneighborhoods have become gentrified, buildings have beensnatched up for condominiums. If Lakefront hadn’t madequality renovations and planned for the future, and MercyHousing hadn’t continued the mission, the Malden Arms andMiriam buildings would have ended up as condos, too.”

Many of the residents have called the properties home forthe entire 15 years. Ira Turner, 66, moved into the MaldenArms just a few months after it opened.

nThe Miriam Apartments celebrated the community’s15th Anniversary with a “There’s No Place Like Home”party. Staff, pictured right, and residents decorated theproperty in a “Wizard of Oz” theme and wore their own“ruby slippers.”

“It’s a lovely neighborhood and I feel very safe. It has beengreat to live here all these years,” she said. “Living here islike a little United Nations. It’s very diverse and justbeautiful.”

Corinne Eiswert moved to The Miriam in 1992, after herbasement apartment was destroyed in a fire. Eiswert hasbeen at the building since its grand opening when MayorRichard Daley cut the ribbon.

“It’s an all-women building, which makes us unique,” saidEiswert. “Because we’re women, we do draw closer together,especially in times of need. I consider the Miriam my home.”

Raising Leaders byPromoting Peace

outh residents at several Mercy HousingColorado properties are learning the skillsthey need to prevent bullying, lead theircommunities and create a positive, healthyenvironment.

Peace Pals is a leadership skills trainingcourse for youth residents, ages 6 to 18, at Decatur Place,Holly Park, Grace and Parkside Apartments. The PeacePals program has been in operation since 2006 at MercyHousing properties throughout Colorado and more than60 residents currently participate.

Peace Pals is part of the Bullying Prevention Initiativesponsored by The Colorado Trust. The program goal is tohelp young residents learn about bullying prevention in apositive way. Participants are encouraged to follow the PeacePals Promises which outline respectful ways of treatingothers. The weekly lessons teach skills including makingpositive choices, helping the community, and showingrespect to and including others, especially those who areeasily left out.

San Francisco Bay Area, California – About 40 children from Mercy HousingCalifornia properties left the bright lightsand busy streets for a two-night campingtrip at Mount Tamalpais State Park. Thekids in grades six and higher hiked,camped and explored the beach. “It’sgreat to get the kids outdoors. It givesthem more time to learn about and appreciate nature,” said Gwen Yaeger,Resident Services Manager.

Peace Pal Promises• We will not bully others.• We will include everyone.• We will stop and think.• We will help others.• We will always tell an adult

when we need help.

In April 2007, Peace Pals helped welcome the Denver Police Department to Grace Apartments,where officers opened a new community office. Attendees included Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper,upper left, and Denver Police Chief Gerald Whitman,lower right accepting a gift.

“Peace Pal behaviors are specific and easily recognizable.By these we hope to show them that they are part of a biggermovement,” said Donna Baiocco, Resident Services Directorfor Mercy Housing Colorado. “We wanted to give our youththe ability to stop and think before making a choice and tounderstand the impact of those choices.”

After completing the first part of the Peace Pals program,the participants become “Peace Pals in Action” where thefocus shifts to helping the larger community. The “Peace Palsin Action” choose projects to focus on, like recycling, to maketheir communities safer, healthier places to live. A second-grade teacher at a school in Commerce City was soimpressed by a Holly Park Peace Pal student’s ability tointervene on the playground that she invited her classroomto participate in a one-hour Peace Pal group.

The Peace Pals program takes place one day a week for anhour and a half; however, the Peace Pal Promises areencouraged and reinforced every day.

Financing Opportunities forHomeownership

hen a group of residents in Washington,D.C., faced the condemnation of theirapartment building and a landlord whowanted to convert the building into market-

rate condominiums, the residents realized their full potentialto empower themselves and gain control of their future.

The seven Marias – Maria Zuniga, Maria Salgado, MariaRivas, Maria Guevara, Maria Gavidia, Maria Herrara andMaria Amaya – had immigrated to the United States from ElSavador, Honduras, Bolivia and Ecuador. They all worked atleast two jobs to afford the rent for apartments that the citycalled a “danger to the health and safety of the persons in orabout the premises.”

The property was cited by the city for more than 2,000housing code violations. The list of problems includeddripping water pipes, lack of heat, gas leaks, sagging ceilings,broken windows, peeling lead-based paint, roach and ratinfestation, and overcrowding with as many as six peopleliving in an efficiency unit.

The property was also in the up-and-coming ColumbiaHeights neighborhood, where the city opened a Metro station

and announced a $149 billion plan to redevelop the area withlarge, box retail stores that would attract new jobs and residents.

The Marias wanted to keep their home, so they organized atenant association to buy the building from their landlord andrenovate it.

"We needed to unify, and it was important because there wasso much discrimination, especially against Latinos," Zunigasaid. "The building was ours, and that's what I wanted foreveryone."

They took their plan to Mercy Loan Fund, a subsidiary of Mercy Housing. Mercy Loan Fund provided a$1.4 million loan to the nonprofit tenant association to finance the acquisition of a 1926-built rental property.

Extensive renovation to the entire building included new roof with new gutters and downspouts, newkitchens with new appliances, new baths, new windows, new interior wall finishes, paint and flooring, andupgrade of electrical and heating systems.

Twenty-eight of the 50 units were pre-sold to tenant-association members, all of which are first timehomebuyers, at prices affordable to families at 20 percent to 50 percent of the area median income(AMI), which is $51,847 in Washington, D.C. The remaining 22 units are being sold to families below 80percent of AMI. The District of Columbia also provided the new homeowners with deep-subsidy downpayment or closing cost assistance and homebuyer counseling.

The residents finished off their renovations with a plaque in front with the building’s new name –Condominium De Las Marias.

“This is just one example of many ways that Mercy Loan Fund’s lending helps to create stable, vibrantand healthy communities,” said Diane Leavesley, Mercy Loan Fund President. “With Mercy Loan Fund’shelp, these women realized their dream of homeownership and a way to better their lives.”

Offering People aCommunity thatServes Them

esidents at Mercy Housing Idaho’s newestproperty and only community for people with special needs are discovering their newfoundindependence through the opportunities offered there.

Independence Hill in Moscow, Idaho, opened in2006. After a year of operation, residents are forming acommunity by participating in weekly activities, includinggames, arts and crafts, movie nights and karaoke, in thecommunity room.

“Independence Hill allows people with developmentaldisabilities to live independently rather than in a grouphome or other facility,” said Craige Naylor, Mercy HousingIdaho President. “These residents are flourishing in anenvironment that is supportive and helps them realize theirfull potential.”

In 2000, Nancy Johansen, a former Mercy Housing IdahoBoard member, planted the seed for building anindependent living facility for developmentally disabledadults. Her son Peder served as her inspiration.

Mercy Housing held a groundbreaking ceremony in May2005 and construction began the next month. By February2006, residents were moving into the 14 rental units of

supportive housing near the campus of the University of Idaho. The building includes a community room and a courtyard.

Mercy Housing Idaho and Stepping Stones, Inc., aMoscow non-profit organization that supports individualsand organizations benefiting people with developmentaldisabilities, worked together to see the project throughcompletion. Stepping Stones donated land for the site andselected Mercy Housing Idaho to build and maintain thedevelopment.

Every day, the residents at Independence Hill show howtheir lives are improving as a result of the services andprograms there. For instance, Tawny Espy, far left, hadmoved from place to place before finding IndependenceHill. In her new home, Tawny immediately joined activitiesin the community room and made friends, bringing herservice dog, Paco, with her everywhere. Now, Tawny hasthe independence and stability that enables her to thrive.


ercy Housing’s missionis to create stable,vibrant and healthycommunities by

developing, financing and operatingaffordable, program-enriched housing forfamilies, seniors and people with specialneeds who lack the economic resourcesto access quality, safe housingopportunities. During Mercy Housing’smore than 25-year history theorganization has intentionally set aboutto grow the number of affordable homeswhile striving to ensure a strong,sustainable organization characterized byfiscal responsibility and socialaccountability.

Mercy Housing was created to addressthe need for quality, safe affordablehousing in our society. As theorganization has grown it has becomeclear that vision and mission must beaccompanied by a sound businessorientation and sustainable financialresults. As we have grown from less than$1 million in assets to our current size,we have come to recognize that thesustainability of our important work isdependent upon building a strongbusiness model and maintaining afinancially stable, strong organization.We engage in continuous, intensivestrategic planning to lay out our long-term objectives and benchmarks, and weemploy sound budgetary and reviewprocedures to evaluate the financialimpact of our activities. We havedeveloped sophisticated cash

management and forecasting tools,enabling us to closely monitor financialresults and review and analyze markettrends. Further, we continually seekopportunities for improved efficiencyand enhanced core mission deliverythrough ongoing cost analyses andprocess improvements. As a resultMercy Housing’s consolidated totalassets continues to increase , risingfrom $1.17 billion as of December 31,2006 to $1.33 billion as of December 31,2007.

Financial integrity and controls – Inaddition to financial strength, animportant element of a sound businessis the integrity of the systems andfinancial information that anorganization produces. MercyHousing’s financial team strives toproduce timely, quality financialinformation to our organizationalleadership, governing bodies, funders

and regulatory agencies. We recognizethe need to ensure strong financialcontrols and infrastructure. Publiccompanies are now being subjected tothe increased audit, control andreporting rules of the Sarbanes-OxleyAct of 2002. While much of this Actdoes not apply to nonprofits, MercyHousing’s Board of Trustees andmanagement team are voluntarilycomplying with the spirit of thelegislation and have implemented anumber of activities including thecreation of a separate independent AuditCommittee of the Board of Trustees. Asan organization we work to ensure thatcontrols and reporting are adequate toensure responsible stewardship of thefunds generously provided by ourcontributors, lenders and other fundingsources.

Generally Accepted AccountingPrinciples, which in the past have notpermitted the inclusion of the revenueand expense information for propertiesowned by partnerships in which MercyHousing is the minority general partner.Effective December 31, 2006, MercyHousing adopted EITF 04-5, requiringMercy Housing to consolidate thosepartnerships in which Mercy Housingwas the minority general partner.

For the years ended December 31, 2007,and December 31, 2006, the consolidatedaudited financial statements include 107and 101 partnership entities, respectively.The pie charts and tables on this pageillustrate the relative sources of revenueand allocation of expenses across the fullMercy Housing organization —encompassing the activities of alloperating multifamily properties,commercial properties andhomeownership construction projects inwhich Mercy Housing holds an interest.

Mercy Housing appreciates thecommitment of resources entrusted to usfrom our Sponsoring Communities,Strategic Healthcare Partners, and ourindividual, corporate, foundation andgovernment partners. We endeavor to bea sound business manager and stewardof these funds. Toward that end, weregularly evaluate the efficiency andeffectiveness of our fundraising activities and the use of these generouslyprovided funds.

Several national charity ratingorganizations have begun to evaluate theefficiency of fundraising efforts andprogram expenditures for a variety ofnonprofit organizations. We applaud thedesire of these organizations to helpdonors better understand how much oftheir contributions are going toward theirintended use. Unfortunately, MercyHousing’s organizational structure doesnot easily accommodate the rating

criteria of these organizations. As ourfinancial statements consolidatenumerous separate operating entitiesand hundreds of properties, it is vitalto use all of the information containedwithin these financial statements toproperly measure our program andfundraising efficiency. As many of therating organizations analyze onlysegments of the Mercy Housingorganization, we do not believe thatwe are being properly measured andtherefore have reflected themeasurements below.

Mercy Housing's mission requiresthe involvement and success of manydepartments throughout theorganization, including our propertymanagers, case managers, developers,loan officers, asset managers andothers. Therefore, when MercyHousing measures our Program Costs,we do so including all of the activities,such as those above, that support ourmission.

Our Program Efficiency Ratio — thepercentage of system-wideexpenditures that relate directly toprogram activities — exceeds industryaverages. Through our management ofoverhead and administrative costs, weensured that more than 93 cents ofevery dollar spent across the systemwas used for program costs asopposed to management, overhead or fundraising.

Our Fundraising Efficiency Ratio — thepercentage of funds raised from giftsthat remain after subtracting fund-raising expenses — was also very highand demonstrates our commitment todirecting these resources to theirstated charitable purposes. During2007, we ensured that 87 cents ofevery philanthropic dollar raisedwithin the system was available for itsintended use.

Mercy Housing’s business model hasexpanded over the past 25 years to focuson a continuum of activities that supportour ability to provide program-enrichedaffordable housing to help our residentsmeet their basic human needs. Our linesof business include real estatedevelopment, property management,resident services, lending, assetmanagement and consulting services.These business lines are supported by ourcorporate support functions that includeaccounting, information technology,human resources, underwriting andfundraising.

Our audited financial statementsreflect the cost of these supportfunctions, as well as business-operatingactivities in accordance with generallyaccepted accounting principles. TheConsolidating Statement of Activitiesand Changes in Net Assets provides abreakdown of our income statementactivity by line of business.

The Property Operations &Management column on Page 24includes the operating results of ourconsolidated properties (a total of 255properties including 190 operatingproperties owned and propertymanaged by Mercy Housing, 33operating properties owned by MercyHousing but property managed by thirdparties and 32 properties currentlyunder development) as well as theoperating results of Mercy ServicesCorporation, which managed a total 224properties including 190 propertiesowned by Mercy Housing and 34properties owned by other parties. Asindicated in the Consolidating Statementof Activities and Changes in Net Assets,fundraising contributed approximately$16 million to the operating results for

this line of business in 2007. Thisamount consists largely of capitalgrants that have been received fromgovernment agencies to support theconstruction of new properties andprovision of new affordable units thatwill become available in the next fewyears. The generosity of agency andindividual giving is an importantelement to the growth of ouraffordable housing portfolio.

We have also developed and own ageneral partner interest (typically 1percent or less) in 107 properties,most of which we manage. Asdiscussed previously, these LIHTCpartnerships were not consolidated inprevious years, but instead wererepresented only by our netinvestment and the change in ourgeneral partnership interest. With theadoption of EITF 04-5 all of thesepartnerships have been consolidatedinto our financial statements. Ourcorporate operations divisions andproperty management subsidiaryprovide services to substantially all ofthese properties, and the cost of thesesupport functions is included in theconsolidated financial statements.

Ourprograms include health and wellness,education, community, and economicdevelopment activities. We recognizethat while housing serves an essentialhuman need our residents can furtherimprove their lives and thecommunities in which they live bybeing provided with otherdevelopmental and communitybuilding opportunities.
