Enterprise Faith-Based Development InitiativeSM

Our Enterprise Faith-Based Development Initiative^SM (Enterprise FBDI^SM) provides houses of worship with the knowledge and tools to develop underutilized land into affordable homes and community facilities.

Enterprise FBDI^SM partners with houses of worship in the following ways:

Grants and capital: Grant funding and access to Enterprise capital products help houses of worship advance their projects from vision to completion. Grants support market study and feasibility analysis, early pre-development and organizational capacity building.
Training: Training helps houses of worship understand and navigate the development process to advance their development projects.
Technical assistance and tools: Participating houses of worship have access to technical assistance to help them connect to resources, address project-specific challenges, and navigate the development process.
Peer-to-peer learning: Peer learning helps faith leaders advance their projects and engages them in advocacy for affordable housing and community development.
Access to experts: Provides information and introductions to development partners, such as architects and designers, real estate lawyers, and development consultants.

It was tough to find a place that was clean and safe. Trinity Plaza met all of my standards and it was affordable. What I like is the convenience of being so close to my job and being a part of the community — which feels more like a family.
