What Mercy Housing West does
Mission
The organization invests in limited partnerships which provide low- income housing and supportive services to low-income, homeless, potentially homeless, or otherwise disadvantaged persons, in accordance with its exempt purpose. Most disbursements in furtherance of the organization's exempt-purpose programs are made in the active conduct of the above activities. Otherwise, disbursements in furtherance of the organization's exempt-purpose programs are made in accordance with procedures or subject to conditions established by the organization's board of directors designed to ensure that individuals and organizations receiving disbursements are adequately investigated to establish they are qualified recipients.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

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. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $56M to $50M (−11%).
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: 2022 68% · 2023 59% · 2024 61%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
62% of MERCY HOUSING WEST’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (72% for the typical peer).
