GOAL: 
Scheduled for spring 2022, this 7-week curriculum builds participants’ and congregations’ capacity to add power to the movement for Housing for All in Silicon Valley. 
The program includes 3 self-guided preparation sessions for congregational groups or individuals, 3 online gatherings led by the core team from the Silicon Valley Faith Leaders Collaborative, and a major organizing event that empowers participants to make a change.
Through this program, participants:
  • Gain an overview of the current housing and houselessness problem in Santa Clara County
  • Hear from those most impacted and connect with organizations engaged in addressing this problem
  • Assess their own and their congregation’s readiness for action, through honest reflection on their attitudes, experience, and the call of their faith
  • Learn the key skills for making change
  • Commit to taking action for Housing for All
