Neighborhood Investment

The Enterprise Faith-Based Development Initiative^SM (Enterprise FBDI^SM) engages and assists the faith community in affordable housing and community development through training, capital, and expertise, connecting them with the resources needed to realize their development goals.

This report on Enterprise’s Collaborative Action grants documents the genesis and evolution of the program, shares case studies and captures lessons and recommendations.

Through effective partnerships and informed decision-making processes, faith-based organizations (FBOs) who own underutilized or vacant property are able to repurpose their property to create affordable homes and public benefit. This resource assists FBOs and community stakeholders interested in advancing this strategy with understanding what it takes to successfully and effectively implement this solution and the different implementation approaches that can be pursued.
