A message from the President
As we dive deeper into another year and have said our goodbyes to a 2021 that was both heartbreaking and hopeful, I want to offer my sincere thanks for all of your ongoing support. The stories we share in this report really illustrate just how much you’ve helped us achieve.
Jannette Finds Her Way Home
Jannette first lost her housing when her fiancé, a veteran, passed away, and her landlords pushed her out of her home. After a long journey, including living unsheltered, she is thriving at Casa de la Mision. "I’m in the best place I could be," she said.

Highlights
LAUNCHING THE ARMSTEAD ACADEMY
In partnership with generous donor and San Francisco 49ers Defensive End Arik Armstead, our resident services team in Sacramento launched the Armstead Academy, an education equity initiative providing academic coaching, tutoring, college tours, and youth leadership development programs to youth ages K—12 in Sacramento’s Upper Land Park area, many of whom live in Mercy Housing California communities.
Bob Mullarkey is no ordinary senior. At age 62, he walked 25 miles a day for 100 days in 2021 to raise money for Mercy Housing California and bring attention to the state’s homelessness crisis.
