Enterprise Community Partners
Established by Enterprise Community Partners in 2006, the Faith-Based Development Initiative (FBDI) was created as a national movement that would bring resources to educate, prepare and build the capacity of faith based organizations to transform underutilized land holdings for the development of affordable housing and community facilities. FBDI has gained momentum as another community led solution that is helping to increase the nation's affordable housing supply.
Enterprise Community Partners is a national nonprofit that exists to make a good home possible for the millions of families without one. Since 1982, they have invested $80.9 billion and created 1 million homes across all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Please join us to learn more about how Enterprise Community Partners supports this growing initiative that now includes FBDI cohorts in multiple states throughout the U.S., as well as its impact on public policy and how it is affecting the passage of local laws that support this programmatic work.
