Join us this Friday at 11 AM for Faith2Foundations: Faith-Based Assets as Affordable Housing Solutions, featuring our Executive Director Jorge Cruz as one of the speakers.

In this webinar, you’ll explore how faith-based institutions—among the largest historic landowners in the U.S.—can play a critical role in addressing the affordable housing crisis.
