Join Hope Community Capital for a timely panel conversation on how Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) are supporting the redevelopment of church-owned properties to advance community impact, from affordable housing for vulnerable populations to social services and community spaces.

As congregations explore new ways to steward their real estate assets, CDFIs are playing a critical role in providing capital, strategy, and partnership models that align mission with development.

Our panelists will have a practical and candid discussion around questions such as:

  • What are you seeing nationally in church-owned property redevelopment?

  • What are the biggest barriers to successful projects?

  • Is access to capital really the primary challenge?

  • What role can CDFI financing play in church property redevelopment?

  • What role should CDFIs play beyond simply providing loans?

  • What products, partnerships, and technical assistance models are still missing?

  • What would it take to scale this work responsibly and effectively?

Whether you’re just beginning to explore possibilities or actively planning a project, this session will provide practical insights grounded in community impact.
