What We Do: Multi-family Program

"Night Out" picnic at Stablewood Farms Apartments At Merced Housing Texas, we believe that everyone has the right to safe, decent, affordable housing. Through our multifamily program, Merced provides quality, affordable, service-enriched multifamily housing to more than 1,800 families in south Texas. Hundreds more families with low incomes will be able to live in the affordable apartments Merced has under construction and under development.

Service–Enriched housing is housing that seeks to connect s GED class ocially and economically isolated residents to each other and to those who can support their empowerment and well-being. At Merced, we believe that a home is central to the way people live and how they feel about themselves. Our resident services program makes social services and supportive programs available to residents either on-site or through a referral system in an effort to improve residents’ quality of life and build healthy communities. Through our resident services component, we seek to promote personal growth and family stability. Additional goals of the program are to increase educational opportunities and develop leadership skills of residents. Another goal is to create a sense of community at our properties so that residents can help each other.

Computer Literacy At each property, the services component may be different because we design our programs based on the interests and needs of our residents. Merced collaborates with local service providers and other non-profit organizations in order to bring resources to our residents.
