When the Sisters of Mercy in Omaha first founded Mercy Housing in 1981, they knew they wanted to provide quality, safe, affordable housing. They could not ensure the quality and safety of Mercy Housing's homes by simply owning the properties. They realized they needed to continue their mission through comprehensive property management and the establishment of supportive services for residents.

In 1983, Mercy Housing established Mercy Services Corporation as a not-for-profit company to provide property management and property-based resident services. Since the time of its establishment, Mercy Services Corporation has provided a service that is a national model of effective management for resident-focused, affordable housing programs. Today, Mercy Services Corporation oversees the property managers, resident services staff, maintenance staff and other employees who ensure that Mercy Housing residents are living in the vision that the Sisters of Mercy had when they sought to improve the economic status of residents, transform neighborhoods and stabilize lives.

Mercy Services Corporation strives to ensure that every property is:

• Well-managed and properly maintained to provide decent, safe and sanitary living conditions for its residents.
• A permanent, affordable housing resource in the community.
• A pleasant and secure living environment for its residents and the surrounding neighborhood.
• A catalyst for positive relationships among the residents, management staff and surrounding communities
• A financially stable enterprise that successfully operates within its budget so that all expenses, debt service and reserves payments are covered by operating income.
• Managed in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements and in compliance with all local, state and federal laws. Mercy Services Corporation has a well-qualified staff to oversee compliance of its properties.
