According to RefugeKC.org, around 500 refugees are resettled in Kansas City each year.  As of November 28, 2021, Kansas City has over 15,000 refugees settled in our city.  This number will only increase.

The mission of Mercy in the City is to create affordable and sustainable housing for immigrants and refugees.

Engaging both private business and organizations within the community, we will connect refugees and immigrants to vocational and life-skills training that will empower them to become an essential and active part of the Kansas City community.

Mercy in the City hopes to see a world where immigrants and refugees are welcomed in communities. We desire to see communities become more than just neighbors--they become friends.

4. Establish Family by providing a sense of belonging to all and helping families get settled into their new home.

5. Provide Work by putting our hands to the work of mercy and helping others do the same.
