Bedford Faith and Housing Summit: Congregational Support for Housing Affordable to Everyone

Register Now for the Faith and Housing Summit

Indiana is experiencing a critical shortage of housing units affordable to community residents. Faith- based organizations can be a key partner in closing this gap, but are often overlooked as resources to expand the quality and quantity of community housing options.

Session Description

This program will feature faith-based developers discussing how to align housing development with mission and the critical collaborations required to successfully complete projects. Congregations new to the housing development space will leave with a deeper understanding of the housing development process, congregations ready to undertake a project will leave with peer advice on how to begin, and congregations with experience will leave with a network of peers to rely upon for future projects.
