“We support Mercy Housing Northwest because of its holistic approach to helping families and communities flourish. MHNW not only provides beautiful, safe and environmentally friendly affordable housing, but surrounds this housing with services that build community. As the parents of three children — all teenagers now — we know how important it is to have a welcoming home, support for schooling, opportunities for recreation, and access to health care.

“Mercy Housing is unique in the way it serves residents in myriad parts of their lives — creating connections to public resources and social services, providing opportunities for celebrating and strengthening community, and assisting individuals in meeting their individual and family goals.”

Will and Jennifer have lived in the Pacific Northwest for 12 years and have three teenage children. Will works as an entrepreneur in residence at the University of Washington and Jennifer works as a financial advisor to nonprofit hospitals and is an Episcopal priest at Saint Mark’s Cathedral. As a family, we enjoy spending time outdoors, listening to local musicians, watching our children play ultimate frisbee and soccer, cooking, and playing games.
