Learn How Congregations Are Creating Affordable Homes

Congregations across California are addressing the affordable housing crisis by leasing their land to mission-aligned developers who build affordable homes at no cost to the church while generating significant revenue for long-term ministry.

This forum highlights innovative models led by Congregational Land Partners (CLP), an MHCH spin-off dedicated to helping faith communities create deeply affordable housing.
