Faith-based communities have always played a vital role in supporting families and fostering strong, connected neighborhoods. Today, these organizations have a unique opportunity to directly address the growing housing crisis by utilizing their land for affordable home development.
With the passage of Yes In God’s Backyard (YIGBY) legislation, faith-based organizations across Texas will have the ability to convert underutilized land—such as vacant lots, parking areas, and adjacent church properties—into housing as a matter of right. This means that congregations can actively participate in revitalizing rural communities while ensuring that more families have access to stable, high-quality homes.
The Quantum American Dream™ App is designed to support this initiative by helping rural families navigate the path to homeownership with zero-down payment mortgages, financial education, and energy-efficient homes that lower the total cost of living.
Unlocking the Power of Faith-Based Land for Housing
Many religious institutions own significant land assets that could be repurposed into high-quality, attainable housing for local families, teachers, first responders, and essential workers. By partnering with Quantum America, faith-based communities can:
Transform Church-Owned Land into Housing – Develop homes on unused or underutilized property to support congregation members and the broader community.
Support Congregational Growth & Sustainability – Generate revenue to sustain religious missions while fulfilling a faith-driven commitment to community service.
Empower Families with Homeownership – Help rural residents transition from renting to homeownership with innovative financing solutions.
Provide Long-Term Stability & Community Building – Strengthen the local workforce and economy by keeping families in the community.
Through public-private collaboration, faith-based organizations can become catalysts for change, ensuring that their land serves a higher purpose—providing shelter, security, and financial empowerment to those in need.

Addressing the Rural Housing Crisis with Faith-Based Leadership
Texas’ Housing Challenge:
Texas needs 306,000 more homes to meet current demand.
Over 75% of Texas land is rural, yet affordable housing remains scarce.
Faith-based organizations can bridge this gap by providing housing solutions in rural and underserved areas.
A Nationwide Need for Faith-Based Housing Solutions:
60 million Americans live in rural counties, yet many lack access to affordable, energy-efficient homes.
Many faith-based organizations own underutilized land that could be converted into housing.
By partnering with Quantum America, USDA, and local governments, faith-based organizations can lead a national movement to transform underutilized land into thriving housing communities.
