Families across the Southeast are struggling to pay the rent and often face difficult tradeoffs, keeping a roof overhead or buying groceries, visiting the doctor or paying for childcare.
There simply are not enough affordable places to live. Houses of worship, many of whom provide spiritual guidance to these families, can also help transform lives through affordable housing.
On Wednesday, March 3, faith-based organizations, affordable housing stakeholders and community members are invited to learn how to convert faith-based controlled land and assets into equitable housing and community facilities during the Turning Amen into Action - Clarion Call, presented by Enterprise Community Partners and the American Heart Association.
Whether you are new to housing or already taking steps toward development, the Turning Amen into Action – A Clarion Call free webinar is designed to help houses of worship become active participants in the housing solution that help families flourish and communities thrive.
Hear from faith-based leaders and housing development experts about:
Assessing the current state of affordable homes in the region
Advocating within your faith-based organization for affordable housing
Learning the impact of the affordable homes shortage on health equity
Accessing the Faith-Based Development Initiative Organizational Assessment Tool
