Lunch & Learn Series - "Faith Partnerships & Land: Unlocking Church-Owned Property"

HCESC and LISC Puget Sound are excited to launch the LISC Build: Monthly Briefings.

The monthly briefings focus on timely topics impacting affordable housing and community development. LISC Build: Monthly Briefings will replace HCESC’s monthly Lunch & Learn Series, expanding the format to create opportunities for members and partners to learn from, connect with, and build relationships across a broader network.

This month's session, Faith Partnerships & Land: Unlocking Church-Owned Property, will explore how faith-based land can be transformed into impactful affordable housing through thoughtful partnerships and development strategies.

The session will walk participants through common development models for faith-owned land - including ground leases, joint ventures, and property sales - highlighting how each approach balances mission, control, and financial return.

Participants will also examine the unique barriers and opportunities that come with faith-based partnerships, from governance structures and congregational decision-making to values alignment and long-term stewardship.
