Fostering Affordable Initiatives Towards Housing

FAITH-icon

Turn church land into affordable homes – fast, compliant, and mission-aligned

The SB4 by-right path allows for faith-owned parcels (owned before Jan 1, 2024) to build 100% affordable housing. We handle the process from cradle to keys.

Why SERVE

 

  • We start now. We’re 100% privately funded—no waiting on grants, no mid-project funding gaps.
  • Proven developers. Deep residential and commercial delivery experience.
  • Checklist experts. We design to objective city standards so approvals are administrative, not political.
  • Protect the ministry. Long-term ground leases keep church ownership and generate stable revenue.

 

What You Get

 

  • Rapid Eligibility & Yield – Parcel eligibility, constraints, and a clear unit count.
  • Concept & Feasibility – Massing, unit mix, straight-talk budget, labor compliance built in.
  • Site Renderings – Early visuals so what you approve is what gets built.
  • Partnership & Finance – Ground lease/JV options, private capital plan, timeline to closing.
  • Administrative Submittal – Complete application aligned to local objective standards; labor plan.
  • Delivery & Stewardship – GC procurement, lease-up, and long-term oversight playbook.

 

 

Common Questions

 

  • How fast can we move? With documents in hand, we begin immediately. Funding is in place.
  • Do we lose control of our land? No. A ground lease keeps ownership with the church.
  • Environmental review? Approvals are administrative when objective standards are met; we manage all required compliance.
  • Prevailing wage? Required—and priced from day one.
