About this listen

Nadia Mian is the Senior Program Director at the Ralph W. Voorhees Center for Civic Engagement at Rutgers University. She visits the Inclusion Catalyst to discuss a very innovative faith-based housing initiative. Key Takeaways

  • Dr. Mian is leading research on faith-based affordable housing, including a database of congregational housing projects across the U.S.
  • California's SB4 legislation allows houses of worship to bypass local zoning laws for affordable housing development, setting a potential model for other states.
  • Faith-based organizations are repurposing underutilized assets like parking lots for affordable housing and community services.
  • Internal congregational discussions and community engagement are crucial first steps before pursuing development projects.

This episode is produced in partnership with the Georgia Interfaith Public Policy Center.
