About Us

            By collaborating with other organizations whose mission and values are similar, Mercy Housing and Human Development utilizes integrated strategies to provide housing, community and economic development for low-wealth families of Mississippi. Through research, analysis, advocacy, direct services and community organizing, MHHD responds to contemporary needs.

            The goal of HOMEWORKS is to provide homeownership opportunities to families whose income is between 30% and 80% of local HUD median income. Since 1999 MHHD has helped first-time homebuyers purchase homes with total cost of approximately $6,278,005. Grant monies awarded toward these purchases were in excess of one million dollars. At MHHD we are lighting the path toward homeownership and are staying involved post-purchase with programs that promote home maintenance and continued financial stability. We strive to empower communities through home ownership and to enable families to build better lives.
