Restoring Hope. Reimagining Community. Rebuilding Opportunity.

Faith-owned land holds one of the greatest untapped opportunities for community transformation in America. This national forum brings together faith leaders, policymakers, investors, and innovators to explore how mission-driven partnerships can turn underused churches assets into attainable housing, economic mobility, and long-term community prosperity.

Through real-world models, Opportunity Zone strategies, and cross-sector collaboration, this event charts a bold path to scale faith-based development nationwide.
