MCI : I G I Mercy House reduces barriers such as poor credit and poor rental histories that tenants would otherwise be denied from in market based apartments operating in a low vacancy environment. By offering lower -threshold housing opportunities, we are ensuring that low- income families are not forced to continue living on the streets or in unsafe housing. Regina Residence also offers a system of support for these families. Mercy House staff will provide Housing Stabilization supportive services including case management, resource referrals and life skills. Supportive services for residents will be provided on a voluntary basis, however residents will be assertively and respectfully encouraged to participate in the supports and services available to them. Service coordination is "resident driven" as well as "needs -driven." In other words, an array of services are offered to all residents but additional services may be offered based on the individualized needs assessment or individual care plans. The targeted outcome for each family will be long-term, stable housing. Additionally, Mercy House will provide adequate staffing to address emergency needs and maintenance issues. By providing low -barrier, affordable housing with supportive services focused on housing stabilization we are preparing our residents to thrive in permanent housing at Regina Residence and throughout the community.
