The Church selected National Community Renaissance (CORE) and Mercy House <br />(Mercy) based on their ties to the community and experience building high quality, service rich housing <br />communities. The Church will be consolidating most of its activities to its north campus located at 2121 N <br />Grand Avenue. The Church has been in the neighborhood since 1900 and will continue to own the property <br />and will remain a community partner for the foreseeable future. <br />EXHIBIT 9 <br />1-37
