Virtual seminar: “Who is My Neighbor? Mission-Driven Development, Affordable Housing and Your Congregation”
- Are you a house of worship with property that you are curious about developing their property for affordable housing or another use?
- Are you curious about how to best serve your community’s needs?
- Are you looking to learn more about how to start a development project on your property?
The Partnership for Faith-Based Affordable Housing and Community Development is hosting the seminar “Who is My Neighbor? Mission-Driven Development, Affordable Housing and Your Congregation” on January 20, 2022 at 3:30pm that will answer these questions.
Who should attend? Congregational laity and clergy in New York City and throughout New York State. Housing advocates, community activists and neighborhood preservationists, developers, architects, attorneys……
The seminar will help your house of worship imagine how to use your physical, monetary, and social assets to best serve your neighbors, and assess your relationship with your surrounding community – while strengthening your congregation. This seminar will discuss ways to utilize your assets including energy initiatives, creative approaches to space use and space rental, and affordable housing development – including access to technical support and potentially to forgivable pre-development loans to support viable affordable housing projects.
If you are interested in learning more about how your house of worship can best serve your community, please join us on January 20.
Who is My Neighbor? is presented by the Partnership for Faith-Based Affordable Housing and Community Development, Bricks and Mortals, the Interfaith Affordable Housing Collaborative, the Interfaith Assembly on Homelessness and Housing, and the New York State Council of Churches.
