Faith-Based Land Initiative

Collaborating with local communities and faith organizations to repurpose underutilized acres of congregational land for housing.

The Community Investment Alliance is at the forefront of a transformative movement in Colorado, dedicated to addressing critical community needs. We collaborate with local communities and faith organizations to repurpose underutilized acres of congregational land for housing. Our partnership approach merges community-focused strategies with technical expertise, ensuring that all housing projects remain affordable for a diverse range of low-income residents while prioritizing health equity. Through our proactive advocacy and extensive networks, we overcome policy barriers to implement innovative housing solutions. The Alliance guides faith community partners through workshops, aiding them in developing a project vision, understanding financial considerations, attracting development partners, and establishing business terms for development agreements. Our mission is to combat the housing crisis, nurture inclusive communities, and promote sustainable development in Colorado.

We invite you to join us in this transformative initiative. Advocate for change alongside us by engaging local faith communities and leaders to champion the repurposing of congregational land for housing. Collaborate with policymakers to support initiatives that streamline regulations and provide incentives for housing development. Explore feasibility with us—work hand-in-hand with our pre-development team to assess how housing on congregational land can benefit both the community and the congregation. By harnessing the potential of congregational land, we can address the pressing need for affordable housing, foster inclusive neighborhoods, and contribute to a more equitable and sustainable future for all. Be part of the Community Investment Alliance and help shape a better tomorrow for Colorado.
