Sacred Spaces to Community Places: Unlocking Faith Properties for Housing

Join us for an important conversation about transforming Calgary's religious and other social purpose properties into affordable housing and vibrant community hubs. This roundtable brings together faith leaders, municipal officials, housing developers, nonprofit organizations, and community partners to explore how underutilized faith-owned lands can address our city's housing needs while strengthening neighbourhoods.

What to Expect:

• Collaborative Dialogue - Explore possibilities in a neutral space designed for trust-building across sectors, without pressure to commit to specific projects
• Local Insights - Hear from Calgary leaders, funders, urban planners, and faith communities who have successfully navigated faith property redevelopment
• Priority Sites - Discuss potential development opportunities on faith-owned properties across Calgary
• Proven Strategies - Learn from successful models of faith property transformation for housing and community benefit
• Partnership Building - Connect with potential collaborators working at the intersection of faith, housing, and community development
• Funding Pathways - Discover investment opportunities and funding mechanisms for housing projects on faith properties

Facilitated by Relèven - a national leader in unlocking faith-based real estate for public good, in partnership with Affordable360 and the City of Edmonton..
