Mercy Housing Boulevard Court is an affordable housing community in Sacramento. It is home to 75 individuals who were formerly homeless and may have special needs such as mental/physical impairments. This volunteer will lead a group that will use art as a means to enhance residents' physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Background knowledge, education, and/or experience with this population is desirable, but not required. Ability to effectively interact with residents and employees with diverse ethnic backgrounds, religious views, political affiliation, cultural backgrounds, lifestyles, and sexual orientation is necessary.
Resident services staff will work closely with this volunteer to assist in building strong relationships with the residents, plan art classes, fund all necessary supplies, and ensure a successful volunteer commitment.

About Mercy Housing California

Mission Statement
To create stable, vibrant and healthy communities by developing, financing and operating affordable, program-enriched housing for families, seniors and people with special needs who lack the economic resources to access quality, safe housing opportunities.
Description
Mercy Housing was founded in 1981 in response to the lack of stable, affordable housing for vulnerable populations. In working to fulfill our mission, Mercy Housing California has developed more than 154 affordable housing communities in 36 counties throughout California, providing 17,000+ homes and serving over 24,000 people in need.
Mercy's commitment to program-enriched housing distinguishes us from many other large scale affordable housing developers. Housing is foundational - everyone needs a home. But many people who have endured poverty and other challenges need an additional hand-up to create the lives they want for themselves and their families. Our dedicated staff and volunteers work with residents right in their homes and neighborhoods on issues like health and wellness, housing stability, financial security as well as provide a full range of enriching out-of-school time options for youth.
