Getting Started with Affordable Housing Initiatives
|
|
Many houses of worship and related religious institutions have considerable assets in the form of real property which can be used for mission. Before embarking on this journey, a house of worship must decide whether there is a collective determination to move forward with a project that could address societal, financial, and other challenges by leveraging these assets. |

Strategies to Maximize the Impact of Housing Development Initiative
|
|
Strong and effective partnerships are integral to development projects. Discover strategies for establishing fruitful partnerships with redevelopment industry professionals, local governments, nonprofits, banking community, and other stakeholders. In considering how to partner for development, there is no one-size-fits-all strategy. What’s suitable for one parcel might not work for another, and what matches the goals of your leadership and congregation could vary from another house of worship. Due diligence activities and collecting information can enable you to make an informed decision regarding the development strategy you want to pursue. These are a few proven strategies that could enable your house of worship to accomplish your desired development goals. |
