Sacred Land, Shared Futures Workshops
In October 2025, ABAG hosted three workshops across the region that helped faith-based institutions and local governments learn about how local partnerships can advance housing on faith-based land. The workshops focused on helping faith-based institutions and local governments learn about SB 4, make connections, and explore best practices and tools for faith-based development. Below are the slides and videos that summarize key learnings from each workshop presentation.
