Joined by the mayor of Atlanta and local faith leaders, we at Enterprise announced last week that our Faith Based Development Initiative is going national. Fueled by grants from our partners at Wells Fargo, we’ll team up with houses of worship across the country to help develop underutilized land and convert it into thousands of safe, affordable homes.

“Communities of faith were central to Enterprise’s founding 40 years ago, and they continue to serve as strong cornerstones in creating neighborhoods where people and families can thrive,” said Jacqueline Waggoner, president of Enterprise’s Solutions division.
