The Mercy Housing Team cordially invites you to a virtual Community Meeting regarding new Affordable Senior Housing to be located on the Laguna Honda Hospital (LHH) campus.
Learn about the new affordable senior housing being proposed for this site. In collaboration with the Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development, Mercy Housing is making good progress in their design and community outreach efforts.
Mercy Housing is excited to share updates and would love to hear your thoughts as the project takes shape. Your input at this stage is incredibly valuable and will help guide the design and planning process.
Please join the meeting on October 8th via Zoom; details can be found in the image above.

Thanks to your generous support, Merced Triangle Park is coming back to life — but we’re not done yet. We’re still raising funds to complete the final phase: installing infrastructure, grass and new plantings to make our park even more vibrant and welcoming.
🙏 A huge thank you to everyone who has already contributed. If you haven’t yet, now’s a great time to chip in and help us finish the Triangle together.
Let’s make this a day to remember — and a park we’re all proud of!
