Creating 200 Homes in Partnership with Local Churches
Building With Faith
$12 Million Campaign
The Building with Faith campaign will create 200 affordable homes, revitalizing neighborhoods and strengthening the fabric of our community. Every dollar brings us closer to building a future where God is honored, all people have a safe place to call home, and where churches can flourish by serving the needs of their communities.
Affordable Housing
- Low housing inventory and skyrocketing costs make homeownership unattainable for many neighbors.
- Rising rents keep families in poverty with no alternative housing.
- Working families are just one crisis away from homelessness.
- Between 2010 and 2020, Kent County housing prices have increased by 119%, while income increased only 46%.*
- Due to discriminatory housing practices —from slavery to segregation to redlining—minorities have faced significant barriers to stable housing.

$6 Million will create homeownership opportunities subsidized for qualified, first-time buyers
The land trust model makes homeownership attainable for under-resourced neighbors while also keeping the house affordable for future generations. These homes will be situated on various properties, including some acquired from or donated by churches in the community.
