Since 1985, Mercy Loan Fund has provided financing to hundreds of local non-profit organizations, enabling them to develop affordable housing in their communities. We have helped finance the development of single- and multi-family homes for rental and homeownership. These developments serve a variety of people, including low-income families and individuals, the working poor, seniors, farm workers, formerly homeless individuals and people with special needs.

Mercy Loan Fund, a subsidiary of Mercy Housing, is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation, certified by the U.S. Treasury Department as a Community Development Financial Institution.

We are proud to provide loans for housing developments that:

• Provide quality, affordable housing
• Serve the economically poor, primarily families or individuals with special needs
• Strengthen families and create healthy communities
• Increase self-reliance

If your organization is interested in applying for a loan, contact our Loan Fund staff for a loan application. Mercy Loan Fund's Loan Review Committee and staff members review the details of each application and evaluate the request carefully against the established criteria. Criteria include:

• Enlisting broad community support for the development
• Demonstrating repayment ability
• Proving the borrower's capacity to complete and manage the development
