What it reported doing in 2018
Mercy community services was a sponsored ministry of the sisters of mercy, nyppaw community. Incorporated as a separate entity in 1992, the organization provided housing and support services for pregnant and parenting young women and their children, and access to primary health care for uninsured and underserved adults.in the fiscal year ending june 30, 2015 the organization recognized that its future financial viability as a separate business entity was in jeopardy. Accordingly, the board of directors actively pursued affiliation opportunities with other non-profit organizations. During this time frame, the board and administration of the organization, instituted an austerity budget and spending plan which restricted expenditures primarily to program expenditures. Cash flow was not sufficient to support even this limited spending. In may of 2016, after all affiliation options were exhausted, the board decided to discontinue all program services and begin the process of liquidation. Beginning with the decision to discontinue program services in may 2016, the process of liquidation of all assets and payments of outstanding liabilities has been in process and was completed by june 30, 2019. A final tax return has been prepared and filed for the year end june 30, 2019.
