Affordable Housing: Resources for Churches in Gentrifying Neighborhoods

This affordable housing toolkit is organized as a menu of options for action based on the resources a church might have at its disposal—money, time, partnerships, land, buildings, and the like. See the links below. Each option is accompanied by examples, with photos, descriptions, and additional links. There are also pages that provide basic information on housing markets and affordable real estate development, suggestions for advocacy, as well as a page of resources for churches that want to bring the needs of the homeless and the housing insecure into their worship services.
