Across our network, member organizations are sitting on something powerful: community trust, mission-driven infrastructure, and in many cases, land and property that could become affordable housing with services for young families and older adults.
Health Through Housing is Lutheran Services in America’s national strategy to turn that potential into reality. Through a flexible predevelopment loan fund, a peer learning cohort designed to get members “loan ready,” and partnerships that align capital with community need, we are building the early-stage support that makes housing projects move from blueprint to breaking ground.
Whether your organization is actively pursuing housing development or just beginning to explore what’s possible, this strategy was built with you in mind. Watch for more details on our Health through Housing strategy this summer, and reach out if you want to learn more about how Lutheran Services in America can help your organization take the next step.
