This guide describes the 7-step process and the tasks, deliverables, and milestones associated with executing affordable housing and community development projects by Houses of Worship. The steps are often iterative and project-dependent. Some Design tasks will happen in conjunction with some Financing tasks, for example. Many projects undertaken by faith-based groups are accomplished in partnership with nonprofit and for-profit development organizations with the requisite expertise, through a joint venture. Many of the listed tasks may be led by or involve the joint venture partner.
