We are not a resettlement agency, and we are not a traditional affordable housing nonprofit.

Many organizations provide critical support services for individuals and families navigating major life transitions, but housing development often falls outside their scope. That gap is where Mercy in the City works.

Mercy in the City exists to build quality, sustainable homes and clear pathways to homeownership for families facing displacement, beginning in Kansas City.

We envision neighborhoods where people are more than neighbors. Where families are rooted in homes of dignity, opportunity is accessible, and community is built through understanding, connection, and shared investment.
