Merced Housing Texas

Merced Housing Texas Our mission is to provide quality, affordable, service-enriched housing for individuals and families Services are provided on-site or through a referral system.

What We Do: Overview

Multi-Family Housing Program
Merced owns or has developed 13 quality, affordable homes for 1,450 families in these Texas cities: San Antonio, Somerset, Conroe, Corpus Christi, Fort Worth, Karnes City and Goliad. Through our multi-family, single-family and Owner-Occupied Emergency Repairs Programs, Merced serves more than 1,949 households. When developments currently in the pipeline are complete, Merced will serve more than 2,984 households in Bexar, Montgomery, Nueces and Goliad counties in Texas. At Merced, we believe in providing more than simply shelter. In keeping with our mission, we provide services at our multi-family properties that support residents’ efforts to raise healthy families and become self-sufficient, fully participating members of society. Resident Services Program
At each multi-family property, we provide services to help residents achieve self sufficiency. The Resident Services program has four focus areas: youth, education and employment, financial literacy, and health. A Resident Services Coordinator works at each property to bring events, activities and resources to residents. A significant percentage of residents in two of Merced's multi-family properties are military families, and Merced considers the special needs of military families. Single-Family Program
Merced’s Single-Family Program revitalizes inner-city neighborhoods by providing home-ownership opportunities to low-income families. Merced acquires dilapidated homes and completely rehabilitates them or constructs new infill homes and sells them to qualifying low-income families. Serve Our Seniors (SOS)
Minor Repair Program
Through the Serve Our Seniors Minor Repair Program, Merced helps extremely low-income senior and disabled homeowners who cannot afford to keep their homes safe, sanitary or structurally sound. Merced makes health- and safety-related repairs at no cost to the homeowners. The SOS Program enables very low-income senior and disabled persons to stay in the homes they own and love. We also have found that receiving SOS assistance often restores faith and hope to seniors whose existence has become bleak because of their limited means.

Merced Housing Texas is honored to be among the organizations selected for the final chapter of Corporate Partners for Racial Equity (CPRE), a collective investment that will provide $1 million annually over the next four years in general operating support to a focused group of San Antonio nonprofits.

As CPRE enters its final chapter, its partners are investing $4 million over four years in organizations working in community and economic development, housing stability, neighborhood revitalization, and related efforts across San Antonio’s urban core.

Merced is proud to be part of this group of trusted organizations working to ensure that longtime residents and communities can participate in and benefit from San Antonio’s growth. As our President and Executive Director, Kristin, shared, “This support is valuable beyond [CPRE’s] financial contribution to each of our missions. [They’re] sending the message to San Antonio and Bexar County residents that investing in our communities and helping our neighbors have access to resources and opportunities to thrive is an important priority.”

We are deeply grateful to Corporate Partners for Racial Equity, San Antonio Spurs , and Frost for this investment and for their commitment to a stronger, more connected and resilient San Antonio.

Thank you for believing in the collective work of San Antonio nonprofits and in the future of our city.

🏡 No One Does It Alone

Last Friday, Merced President & Executive Director Kristin joined housing leaders and community partners for the 2026 Housing Legislative Workshop, hosted by the San Antonio Housing Coalition.

Kristin participated in the panel “No One Does It Alone: Partnerships as the Foundation for Housing and Services,” a conversation about the partnerships needed to address San Antonio’s affordable housing and homelessness challenges.

From developing affordable housing through public-private partnerships and nonprofit collaborations to providing the services that help people remain stably housed, meaningful progress requires organizations to work together.

We’re grateful for opportunities like this to share ideas, learn from fellow housing leaders, and strengthen the partnerships that help our community move forward.

Because building healthy communities takes all of us.
