Higher Ground: Developing Affordable Housing & Community Facilities
in Partnership with Faith Communities
Date: September 15 | 9:00am – 12:30pm | Location: Zoom Webcast
Recent analysis by the Urban Institute revealed there are 800 vacant parcels owned by houses of worship in just four jurisdictions in the region that could potentially catalyze the development of between 49,000 and 109,000 units of housing. Join HAND, Enterprise Community Partners, and Goldstein Hall PLLC for an interactive session featuring affordable housing practitioners, clergy and lay leaders who have successfully partnered to develop affordable housing and community facilities across the Washington Region. The agenda will include a sharing of lessons learned by Enterprise and its partners during the first 14 years of the Faith Based Development Initiative, a special highlight from attorneys providing best practices for faith communities to ensure their interests are protected, case studies highlighting successful projects, and a candid panel discussion with experienced partners sharing insights on what it really takes to bring these projects to fruition.
