To date, Merced has helped over 805 older adult homeowners or homeowners living with disabilities safely age in place through health, safety, and ADA-accessible related home repairs. The age of homes repaired by OORP ranges from pre-1950s (21%) and 1960-1980s (50%). Many older homes have electrical and plumbing concerns, poor/no insulation, foundation issues, and lead-based paint. Annually, Merced serves 30-40 households in historically underserved, under-resourced areas. OORP provides minimally 5 critical home repairs/house. Costs to repair range from $5,700 (plumbing) to $14,000 (electrical). The average repair costs range from $15,000 to $25,000/house. From initial home assessment to construction completion, the average time is 4-6 months.

Our Resident Services team helps residents living in Merceds affordable housing communities to address basic needs as well as personal pursuits of good health, education, and financial stability. Through the Resident Services program, Merced provides educational resources and activities focused to support housing stability and prevent unplanned moves or eviction. The Social Determinants of Health inform our key areas of focus and intentionality to provide safety, security, and stability for residents. These key areas are financial stability, community engagement, health/wellness, enrichment/education, and food security. The overall goals and objectives for Resident Services are greater housing and financial stability; better physical health; and improved mental, financial, and social wellness. Last year, Merced Resident Services connected thousands of vital local community resources to residents. We have found that residents request or participate in services on average 9 times/year

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2018 to 2019, from $31M to $40M (+26%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 3% · 2018 5% · 2019 21% · 2020 25% · 2021 22% · 2022 32% · 2023 21% · 2025 25%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 6 funders, grant income fell $61k → $49k.
4 of 21 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 24% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of MERCED HOUSING TEXAS’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
MERCED HOUSING TEXAS has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 20% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
65% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund MERCED HOUSING TEXAS.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 65% · 2018 48% · 2019 48% · 2020 42% · 2021 30% · 2022 31% · 2023 51% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
33% of MERCED HOUSING TEXAS's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 48% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
68% of MERCED HOUSING TEXAS's grant income comes from Texas funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $218k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
