Equipping
Information and perspective alone do not bring about change. These must be communicated in ways that inspire, encourage and empower different stakeholders for action. Through empowerment, leaders and organizations acquire the practical skill sets and capacities necessary to lead effectively.

The Church & Affordable Housing Conference – Since 2006 this regional gathering has convened every other year. The expense and complexity of best practice affordable housing requires broad partnerships for long-term sustainability. The Christian community has more expertise and resources to offer in partnership than most people realize. It draws several hundred participants from across the full denominational spectrum as well as from secular partners in the governmental, non-profit and private sectors.
