  • Our Mission

Our vision is both clear and compassionate: to collaborate with faith leaders and their congregations in preserving and establishing safe, affordable housing that not only sustains their faith organizations but also enhances the well-being of New York City residents, ensuring that they are blessed by the fulfillment of their fundamental need for shelter. This vision reflects a deep commitment to both the spiritual and practical well-being of the community, addressing essential human needs while promoting a sense of belonging and support within faith-based organizations.

 
 

Our Work

Faith-based Development Initiative (FBDI)      

Currently, our most robust project is done through our work with Enterprise Community Partners. As faith leaders, we are met every day with the angst and pleas of our congregants and community members for decent, affordable places to live.

Kingdom Faith Housing Initiatives has been blessed to join Enterprise Community Partners, a nationally esteemed organization specializing in affordable housing development and education. Through their FBDI program, pastors and faith leaders have been able to gain access to essential education, guidance, and support. These leaders have been guided through the critical steps needed in order to select the right development partner that will work along with them to fulfill their organization's specific vision and mission. Through pro-bono assistance and pre-development grants, they have gained access to a wealth of expertise, including development consultants, architects, engineers, attorneys, appraisers, environmental specialists, fiscal analysts, and community relations experts. These experts skillfully assist faith leaders in gaining the intricate pre-development knowledge that lays the foundation needed to make informed decisions about developing your property in alignment with your organization's core values.

Participants in FBDI have the additional opportunity to explore government programs designed to benefit the community and their congregation by utilizing current affordable housing programs offered by government agencies.

We are committed to helping you serve the community and your congregants while at the same time uncovering enduring solutions to challenges stemming from financial difficulties, the necessity to upgrade and modernize facilities, construction demands, and other obstacles often encountered in the development of properties owned by faith-based entities.
