After Church Atlas
The After Church Atlas was designed as a pilot project to create an online portal and resource for the study of church closure and transformation, supported in part by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council and Memorial University. The pilot phase is now complete. Based on feedback from users and partners, we are archiving this pilot version, and reconfiguring the Atlas based on feedback we've received. The new platform will use ArcGis apps and tools. We plan to relaunch the Atlas in early fall.

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.
