Prize-winner, Mark Fiore, who the Wall Street Journal has called “the undisputed guru of the form,” creates animated political cartoons in San Francisco, where his work has been featured regularly on the San Francisco Chronicle’s web site, SFGate.com. His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.","avatar":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twitter":"MarkFiore","facebook":null,"instagram":"https://www.instagram.com/markfiore/?hl=en","linkedin":null,"sites":[{"site":"arts","roles":["contributor"]},{"site":"news","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"futureofyou","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"science","roles":["editor"]}],"headData":{"title":"Mark Fiore | KQED","description":"KQED News Cartoonist","ogImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g"},"isLoading":false,"link":"/author/markfiore"},"afont":{"type":"authors","id":"8637","meta":{"index":"authors_1591205172","id":"8637","found":true},"name":"Amanda Font","firstName":"Amanda","lastName":"Font","slug":"afont","email":"afont@kqed.org","display_author_email":false,"staff_mastheads":["news"],"title":"KQED Contributor","bio":"Amanda Font is a producer on the \u003cem>Bay Curious\u003c/em> podcast, and the host and co-producer of the series \u003cem>Audible Cosmos\u003c/em>.

For the past nine years, she had been living in downtown Oakland. But when her building’s management changed last year, Hudson started noticing infestations of bugs in the halls and in her apartment. She started to feel unsafe around new neighbors who were loud and behaved erratically. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Before, they used to screen the people they let in, but [then] they started to let any and everybody come in here,” she said. “The place was just [falling apart] and I couldn’t stand the bugs” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hudson, 71, is a lifelong resident of Alameda County. All of her family lives nearby. On most weekdays, she drives to Alameda to take care of her sister who recently suffered a stroke. On the weekends, she visits her daughter and grandchildren who live in Berkeley. One of her brothers lives a few blocks away while the other is in a convalescent home in Martinez. She couldn’t imagine moving away from all of that.\u003c/span>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Rev.

In her retirement, she relies on her Social Security benefits to pay the bills. She looked into getting an apartment in the same complex as her sister in Alameda, but the waitlist was too long. As her search dragged on for months, Hudson heard about Jordan Court, a housing complex for seniors with low incomes built by All Souls Episcopal Parish in Berkeley. She applied for a spot, but wasn’t hopeful she’d get in. The church had received more than 850 applications to fill a mere 34 studio units. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Then out of the blue, I get a call,” Hudson said. “They said, ‘You got the apartment here.’ I said, ‘You gotta be kidding me.’ That is nothing but a blessing.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hudson moved into Jordan Court in early March, along with 33 other seniors with low incomes. The apartment sits between North Oakland and South Berkeley, just a block away from a busy thoroughfare with lots of small restaurants, bakeries and grocery stores. Hudson’s new apartment has a big kitchen, big closets and a walk-in shower with a seat inside. She can park her car safely in the parking lot. And when she doesn’t want to drive, she can walk or take the bus to wherever she needs to be.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11922803\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/RS57015_009_KQED_HousingJordanCourt_06292022-qut.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11922803\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/RS57015_009_KQED_HousingJordanCourt_06292022-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"A common area with TVs and a meeting room.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/RS57015_009_KQED_HousingJordanCourt_06292022-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/RS57015_009_KQED_HousingJordanCourt_06292022-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/RS57015_009_KQED_HousingJordanCourt_06292022-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/RS57015_009_KQED_HousingJordanCourt_06292022-qut-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/RS57015_009_KQED_HousingJordanCourt_06292022-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jordan Court, located next door to All Souls Episcopal Parish, offers many amenities for their residents, including game and movie nights along with a community garden filled with fresh fruits and vegetables.

The process started in 2014, when Rev. Phil Brochard and the All Souls Episcopal congregation were trying to decide what to do with an apartment building the church owned next door.

Phil Brochard had been wanting to transform the underused and decrepit apartment the church owned into something useful for the community. In 2014, the congregation decided to turn the building into affordable housing, desperately needed in the increasingly expensive city. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But the project’s road to completion was a long and tiresome one with all the usual speed bumps that face affordable housing developments: high construction costs, bureaucracy and neighbors saying \"not in my backyard.\" \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“For some, they didn’t want to see a bigger structure here — we added a story to the building that was previously here,” Brochard said. “For some, it was just that they didn’t want poor people living in ‘their neighborhood’ and they felt like they or their families would be at more risk.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">One neighbor appealed the project, causing All Souls to miss out on an opportunity for millions of dollars in funding.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But All Souls had their advantages, too. The project got some help from the state Legislature, with a new state law designed to spur housing construction. \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB35\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">SB 35\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> was passed in 2017, and streamlines project approvals in cities that have failed to build enough housing to meet state-mandated requirements. If a project meets certain criteria and contains fewer than 150 units, local governments must greenlight them within 60 days. Jordan Court contained 34 units and met all the criteria.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another thing going for All Souls: its size and financial stability. The church has many affluent congregants who volunteered their skills toward developing Jordan Court, including an architect who assisted in the design process and an attorney who helped sort through the legal red tape. The church could also afford to build affordable rather than market-rate housing, which would have earned a profit. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“We’re also in a position where we didn’t need the income stream for us to be able to survive,” Brochard said. “We’ve been a pretty stable congregation over the last 15 years or so. We felt we had enough stability that we could make this choice.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Why aren't there more Jordan Courts?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">All Souls built Jordan Court in partnership with Satellite Affordable Housing Associates.

That’s often a game changer for a congregation,” said Friedland. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another misconception is how financially lucrative an affordable housing project could be. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Some organizations see they have surplus land and they want to monetize it,” said Friedland. “But building affordable housing isn’t always a great way to maximize profit. It’s not a moneymaker.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Developing affordable housing takes a lot of time and resources, which can be daunting for new developers like churches. Since 2020, state Sen.

Jennings, outside the Blessings of Faith church in Hayward. \u003ccite>(Adhiti Bandlamudi/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pastor L.J. Jennings leads the Kingdom Builders Christian Fellowship in Oakland. Born and raised in the East Bay, Jennings has seen his neighbors and family members get pushed out of the area by the rising cost of living.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“We talk about gentrification, but my word is ‘displacement,’” Jennings said. “When I look at who is being pushed out, it’s minority folks, it’s people of color. It’s changing the demographics of our city, of our communities.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Before becoming a pastor, Jennings worked in residential and commercial real estate and decided to put his experience and skills to use. In 2010, a year after opening the Kingdom Builders Christian Fellowship, he built a sober-living facility on land the church owned. Seven years later, he opened a hundred-bed home for formerly incarcerated individuals looking to reenter society. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“All of [the tenants in our facilities] are classified as homeless,” said Jennings. “We knew right away early on that we needed to address the homelessness crisis, so that’s what we’ve been doing.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">After learning the ins and outs of building subsidized housing, Jennings wanted to help other churches do the same. In 2019, he started the Kingdom Builders Project, a nonprofit with two goals: to help churches build affordable housing and to make the projects as financially sound as possible to help struggling churches stay afloat. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Kingdom Builders Project has been working with churches across the East Bay on housing projects: four in Oakland and one in Hayward. All the churches are Black churches. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“We know in the Black community that Blacks are being displaced in record numbers,” Jennings said. “So as a community, we’re really trying to stem the tide of Black displacement. We’re fighting for our survival.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">While building housing may align with a church’s mission to serve its community, it’s not always cost-effective. According to Jennings, this is because faith institutions aren’t familiar with the financing of housing developments and therefore don’t know how to negotiate with savvy housing developers. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“We have these situations where nonprofit housing developers are getting land from the church and the church doesn’t benefit from it other than their name on the building,” Jennings said.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">For example, many affordable housing developers make money through a “developer fee,” a sum of money included in the total housing development costs. Jennings argues housing developers should share that fee with churches, especially if the church is involved in that development process and owns the highly valuable land. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are other ways to access revenue streams, Jennings says, if only churches knew how to tap into them. Traditionally, an affordable housing developer would manage the apartment property or contract it out, but if church members learned how to manage the property, they could keep that revenue. Jennings envisions the church providing other services, too. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Whether it’s computer assistance, whether it’s after-school care, whatever it is — it’s for the community and the residents,” he said. “We would help them develop their services that are going to be housed inside the development so that they can create additional revenue.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Jennings also wants to increase the odds that churches can house their own members who are at risk of displacement. Getting a unit in an affordable housing project usually happens by lottery, to make it a fair process. Jennings says that in the time it takes to build the housing, churches can work with their members to help them qualify. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“We’re working with them on their credit, we’re working with them on their budgeting, making sure there’s job stability,” Jennings said. “We’re working with them on all the areas so that when the application opens, our people are ready to apply.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The four housing projects in Oakland are in the early stages and haven’t started construction yet, but Jennings says they look promising. The project in Hayward, however, is running into roadblocks from the church’s neighbors and confusing county regulations. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Blessings of Faith church, located a few blocks away from downtown Hayward, wants to build a 42-unit complex for seniors with low incomes in a small parking lot behind the church. Pastor Tally Knott grew up in Hayward, attended the church and witnessed the displacement of seniors and others in her community. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“I was always around seniors, so my care for older people came about by just being around them,” said Knott. “This is my home, these are my people. I understand the community here and the needs of the people.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Since starting the development process, Knott says the church has gotten pushback from neighbors who fear the apartment building will be too large for the area. Others in surrounding homes fear it will bring crime and disorder to their quiet community. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“We live in a community where people are comfortable and don’t want change, but everyone’s going to become older one day,” said Knott. “I was even thinking about putting up signs that say ‘Seniors Matter.’” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Despite the setbacks, Knott and Jennings are resolute in their goal to build affordable housing in their communities. There’s no guarantee that these projects will work out exactly as envisioned, but it makes sense that faith organizations like the Kingdom Builders Project are giving it a try. Churches and other faith institutions have provided shelter to their communities for centuries.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“With the affordable housing crisis, there are no silver bullets,” said Tia Hicks, program officer at the Bay Area chapter of the nonprofit Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC). “This is just one opportunity to really get at our regional affordable housing crisis.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Since 2019, \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.lisc.org/bay-area/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">LISC Bay Area\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> has worked with 20 churches in the East Bay that wanted to develop housing on their property. One church is set to start construction on their property by the end of this year while others are selecting development partners and getting started on the approval process. Hicks says faith institutions are some of the best organizations to get involved in housing because they are usually entrenched in the communities they serve and understand the specific needs. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“It enables communities to retain ownership over what gets built,” she said. “Especially if we’re prioritizing racial equity in our work, in supporting Black congregations, there’s a lot of powerful synergy there.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"The need for affordable housing is at an all-time high, and churches have the land to build it– they’re one of the largest landowners in the state.

For the past nine years, she had been living in downtown Oakland. But when her building’s management changed last year, Hudson started noticing infestations of bugs in the halls and in her apartment. She started to feel unsafe around new neighbors who were loud and behaved erratically. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Before, they used to screen the people they let in, but [then] they started to let any and everybody come in here,” she said. “The place was just [falling apart] and I couldn’t stand the bugs” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hudson, 71, is a lifelong resident of Alameda County. All of her family lives nearby. On most weekdays, she drives to Alameda to take care of her sister who recently suffered a stroke. On the weekends, she visits her daughter and grandchildren who live in Berkeley. One of her brothers lives a few blocks away while the other is in a convalescent home in Martinez. She couldn’t imagine moving away from all of that.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"'We wanted to be part of strengthening the community in a different way and one that was going to provide space for people who are most vulnerable.'","name":"pullquote","attributes":{"named":{"size":"medium","align":"right","citation":"Rev.

In her retirement, she relies on her Social Security benefits to pay the bills. She looked into getting an apartment in the same complex as her sister in Alameda, but the waitlist was too long. As her search dragged on for months, Hudson heard about Jordan Court, a housing complex for seniors with low incomes built by All Souls Episcopal Parish in Berkeley. She applied for a spot, but wasn’t hopeful she’d get in. The church had received more than 850 applications to fill a mere 34 studio units. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Then out of the blue, I get a call,” Hudson said. “They said, ‘You got the apartment here.’ I said, ‘You gotta be kidding me.’ That is nothing but a blessing.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hudson moved into Jordan Court in early March, along with 33 other seniors with low incomes. The apartment sits between North Oakland and South Berkeley, just a block away from a busy thoroughfare with lots of small restaurants, bakeries and grocery stores. Hudson’s new apartment has a big kitchen, big closets and a walk-in shower with a seat inside. She can park her car safely in the parking lot. And when she doesn’t want to drive, she can walk or take the bus to wherever she needs to be.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11922803\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/RS57015_009_KQED_HousingJordanCourt_06292022-qut.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11922803\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/RS57015_009_KQED_HousingJordanCourt_06292022-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"A common area with TVs and a meeting room.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/RS57015_009_KQED_HousingJordanCourt_06292022-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/RS57015_009_KQED_HousingJordanCourt_06292022-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/RS57015_009_KQED_HousingJordanCourt_06292022-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/RS57015_009_KQED_HousingJordanCourt_06292022-qut-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/RS57015_009_KQED_HousingJordanCourt_06292022-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jordan Court, located next door to All Souls Episcopal Parish, offers many amenities for their residents, including game and movie nights along with a community garden filled with fresh fruits and vegetables.

The process started in 2014, when Rev. Phil Brochard and the All Souls Episcopal congregation were trying to decide what to do with an apartment building the church owned next door.

Phil Brochard had been wanting to transform the underused and decrepit apartment the church owned into something useful for the community. In 2014, the congregation decided to turn the building into affordable housing, desperately needed in the increasingly expensive city. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But the project’s road to completion was a long and tiresome one with all the usual speed bumps that face affordable housing developments: high construction costs, bureaucracy and neighbors saying \"not in my backyard.\" \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“For some, they didn’t want to see a bigger structure here — we added a story to the building that was previously here,” Brochard said. “For some, it was just that they didn’t want poor people living in ‘their neighborhood’ and they felt like they or their families would be at more risk.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">One neighbor appealed the project, causing All Souls to miss out on an opportunity for millions of dollars in funding.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But All Souls had their advantages, too. The project got some help from the state Legislature, with a new state law designed to spur housing construction. \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB35\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">SB 35\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> was passed in 2017, and streamlines project approvals in cities that have failed to build enough housing to meet state-mandated requirements. If a project meets certain criteria and contains fewer than 150 units, local governments must greenlight them within 60 days. Jordan Court contained 34 units and met all the criteria.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another thing going for All Souls: its size and financial stability. The church has many affluent congregants who volunteered their skills toward developing Jordan Court, including an architect who assisted in the design process and an attorney who helped sort through the legal red tape. The church could also afford to build affordable rather than market-rate housing, which would have earned a profit. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“We’re also in a position where we didn’t need the income stream for us to be able to survive,” Brochard said. “We’ve been a pretty stable congregation over the last 15 years or so.

That’s often a game changer for a congregation,” said Friedland. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another misconception is how financially lucrative an affordable housing project could be. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Some organizations see they have surplus land and they want to monetize it,” said Friedland. “But building affordable housing isn’t always a great way to maximize profit. It’s not a moneymaker.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Developing affordable housing takes a lot of time and resources, which can be daunting for new developers like churches. Since 2020, state Sen. Scott Wiener has been working on legislation that would make the approval process easier specifically for churches that want to develop affordable housing, but it has failed both times he has introduced it. Wiener plans to introduce a similar bill in December. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Making affordable housing work for more churches\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11922936\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/IMG_1408-scaled.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11922936\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/IMG_1408-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"A man wearing a brown jacket and light jeans stands outside a building by a fence.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/IMG_1408-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/IMG_1408-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/IMG_1408-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/IMG_1408-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/IMG_1408-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/IMG_1408-1920x1440.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pastor L.J. Jennings, outside the Blessings of Faith church in Hayward. \u003ccite>(Adhiti Bandlamudi/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pastor L.J. Jennings leads the Kingdom Builders Christian Fellowship in Oakland. Born and raised in the East Bay, Jennings has seen his neighbors and family members get pushed out of the area by the rising cost of living.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“We talk about gentrification, but my word is ‘displacement,’” Jennings said. “When I look at who is being pushed out, it’s minority folks, it’s people of color. It’s changing the demographics of our city, of our communities.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Before becoming a pastor, Jennings worked in residential and commercial real estate and decided to put his experience and skills to use. In 2010, a year after opening the Kingdom Builders Christian Fellowship, he built a sober-living facility on land the church owned. Seven years later, he opened a hundred-bed home for formerly incarcerated individuals looking to reenter society. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“All of [the tenants in our facilities] are classified as homeless,” said Jennings. “We knew right away early on that we needed to address the homelessness crisis, so that’s what we’ve been doing.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">After learning the ins and outs of building subsidized housing, Jennings wanted to help other churches do the same. In 2019, he started the Kingdom Builders Project, a nonprofit with two goals: to help churches build affordable housing and to make the projects as financially sound as possible to help struggling churches stay afloat. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Kingdom Builders Project has been working with churches across the East Bay on housing projects: four in Oakland and one in Hayward. All the churches are Black churches. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“We know in the Black community that Blacks are being displaced in record numbers,” Jennings said. “So as a community, we’re really trying to stem the tide of Black displacement. We’re fighting for our survival.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">While building housing may align with a church’s mission to serve its community, it’s not always cost-effective. According to Jennings, this is because faith institutions aren’t familiar with the financing of housing developments and therefore don’t know how to negotiate with savvy housing developers. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“We have these situations where nonprofit housing developers are getting land from the church and the church doesn’t benefit from it other than their name on the building,” Jennings said.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">For example, many affordable housing developers make money through a “developer fee,” a sum of money included in the total housing development costs. Jennings argues housing developers should share that fee with churches, especially if the church is involved in that development process and owns the highly valuable land. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are other ways to access revenue streams, Jennings says, if only churches knew how to tap into them. Traditionally, an affordable housing developer would manage the apartment property or contract it out, but if church members learned how to manage the property, they could keep that revenue. Jennings envisions the church providing other services, too. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Whether it’s computer assistance, whether it’s after-school care, whatever it is — it’s for the community and the residents,” he said. “We would help them develop their services that are going to be housed inside the development so that they can create additional revenue.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Jennings also wants to increase the odds that churches can house their own members who are at risk of displacement. Getting a unit in an affordable housing project usually happens by lottery, to make it a fair process. Jennings says that in the time it takes to build the housing, churches can work with their members to help them qualify. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“We’re working with them on their credit, we’re working with them on their budgeting, making sure there’s job stability,” Jennings said. “We’re working with them on all the areas so that when the application opens, our people are ready to apply.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The four housing projects in Oakland are in the early stages and haven’t started construction yet, but Jennings says they look promising. The project in Hayward, however, is running into roadblocks from the church’s neighbors and confusing county regulations. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Blessings of Faith church, located a few blocks away from downtown Hayward, wants to build a 42-unit complex for seniors with low incomes in a small parking lot behind the church. Pastor Tally Knott grew up in Hayward, attended the church and witnessed the displacement of seniors and others in her community. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“I was always around seniors, so my care for older people came about by just being around them,” said Knott. “This is my home, these are my people. I understand the community here and the needs of the people.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Since starting the development process, Knott says the church has gotten pushback from neighbors who fear the apartment building will be too large for the area. Others in surrounding homes fear it will bring crime and disorder to their quiet community. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“We live in a community where people are comfortable and don’t want change, but everyone’s going to become older one day,” said Knott. “I was even thinking about putting up signs that say ‘Seniors Matter.’” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Despite the setbacks, Knott and Jennings are resolute in their goal to build affordable housing in their communities. There’s no guarantee that these projects will work out exactly as envisioned, but it makes sense that faith organizations like the Kingdom Builders Project are giving it a try. Churches and other faith institutions have provided shelter to their communities for centuries.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“With the affordable housing crisis, there are no silver bullets,” said Tia Hicks, program officer at the Bay Area chapter of the nonprofit Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC). “This is just one opportunity to really get at our regional affordable housing crisis.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Since 2019, \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.lisc.org/bay-area/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">LISC Bay Area\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> has worked with 20 churches in the East Bay that wanted to develop housing on their property. One church is set to start construction on their property by the end of this year while others are selecting development partners and getting started on the approval process. Hicks says faith institutions are some of the best organizations to get involved in housing because they are usually entrenched in the communities they serve and understand the specific needs. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“It enables communities to retain ownership over what gets built,” she said. “Especially if we’re prioritizing racial equity in our work, in supporting Black congregations, there’s a lot of powerful synergy there.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/11922784/california-churches-want-to-build-affordable-housing-on-their-land-so-why-is-it-so-hard","authors":["11672"],"categories":["news_8"],"tags":["news_3921","news_260","news_129","news_21641","news_18352","news_31466","news_27626","news_1775"],"featImg":"news_11922801","label":"news"},"news_11820587":{"type":"posts","id":"news_11820587","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"news","id":"11820587","score":null,"sort":[1590440316000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"california-says-churches-can-reopen-but-only-after-adhering-to-certain-guidlines","title":"California Issues Guidelines for Places of Worship to Reopen at Limited Capacity","publishDate":1590440316,"format":"standard","headTitle":"The California Report | KQED News","labelTerm":{},"content":"\u003cp>Places of worship in California can reopen for services, but only after they make major modifications based on a set of guidelines released Monday by state health officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The guidelines, issued by the California Department of Public Health, leave it to the discretion of individual counties to decide whether religious gatherings in their jurisdictions can resume.

KQED and mission-driven media organizations around the state will explore the California Dream starting this year. Reporters and producers will tell the personal stories and discuss the ideas that make up the history, future and current state of the California Dream. Is the dream still attainable for most people who live here? Tell us your California Dream story.","ogTitle":null,"ogDescription":null,"ogImgId":null,"twTitle":null,"twDescription":null,"twImgId":null},"ttid":21896,"isLoading":false,"link":"/news/series/californiadream"},"news_223":{"type":"terms","id":"news_223","meta":{"index":"terms_1591234321","site":"news","id":"223","found":true},"relationships":{},"included":{},"name":"Arts and Culture","slug":"arts-and-culture","taxonomy":"category","description":null,"featImg":null,"headData":{"title":"Arts and Culture Archives | KQED News","description":null,"ogTitle":null,"ogDescription":null,"ogImgId":null,"twTitle":null,"twDescription":null,"twImgId":null},"ttid":231,"isLoading":false,"link":"/news/category/arts-and-culture"},"news_20397":{"type":"terms","id":"news_20397","meta":{"index":"terms_1591234321","site":"news","id":"20397","found":true},"relationships":{},"included":{},"name":"California history","slug":"california-history","taxonomy":"tag","description":null,"featImg":null,"headData":{"title":"California history Archives | KQED News","description":null,"ogTitle":null,"ogDescription":null,"ogImgId":null,"twTitle":null,"twDescription":null,"twImgId":null},"ttid":20414,"isLoading":false,"link":"/news/tag/california-history"},"news_18371":{"type":"terms","id":"news_18371","meta":{"index":"terms_1591234321","site":"news","id":"18371","found":true},"relationships":{},"included":{},"name":"orange county","slug":"orange-county","taxonomy":"tag","description":null,"featImg":null,"headData":{"title":"orange county Archives | KQED News","description":null,"ogTitle":null,"ogDescription":null,"ogImgId":null,"twTitle":null,"twDescription":null,"twImgId":null},"ttid":18405,"isLoading":false,"link":"/news/tag/orange-county"},"news_17286":{"type":"terms","id":"news_17286","meta":{"index":"terms_1591234321","site":"news","id":"17286","found":true},"relationships":{},"included":{},"name":"tcr","slug":"tcr","taxonomy":"tag","description":null,"featImg":null,"headData":{"title":"tcr Archives | KQED News","description":null,"ogTitle":null,"ogDescription":null,"ogImgId":null,"twTitle":null,"twDescription":null,"twImgId":null},"ttid":17318,"isLoading":false,"link":"/news/tag/tcr"},"news_4":{"type":"terms","id":"news_4","meta":{"index":"terms_1591234321","site":"news","id":"4","found":true},"relationships":{},"included":{},"name":"los angeles","slug":"los-angeles","taxonomy":"tag","description":null,"featImg":null,"headData":{"title":"los angeles Archives | KQED News","description":null,"ogTitle":null,"ogDescription":null,"ogImgId":null,"twTitle":null,"twDescription":null,"twImgId":null},"ttid":4,"isLoading":false,"link":"/news/tag/los-angeles"},"news_2138":{"type":"terms","id":"news_2138","meta":{"index":"terms_1591234321","site":"news","id":"2138","found":true},"relationships":{},"included":{},"name":"trauma","slug":"trauma","taxonomy":"tag","description":null,"featImg":null,"headData":{"title":"trauma Archives | KQED News","description":null,"ogTitle":null,"ogDescription":null,"ogImgId":null,"twTitle":null,"twDescription":null,"twImgId":null},"ttid":2153,"isLoading":false,"link":"/news/tag/trauma"},"news_7055":{"type":"terms","id":"news_7055","meta":{"index":"terms_1591234321","site":"news","id":"7055","found":true},"relationships":{},"included":{},"name":"KPCC","slug":"kpcc","taxonomy":"affiliate","description":null,"featImg":null,"headData":{"title":"KPCC Archives | KQED Arts","description":null,"ogTitle":null,"ogDescription":null,"ogImgId":null,"twTitle":null,"twDescription":null,"twImgId":null},"ttid":7082,"isLoading":false,"link":"/news/affiliate/kpcc"}},"userAgentReducer":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isBot":true},"userPermissionsReducer":{"wpLoggedIn":false},"localStorageReducer":{},"browserHistoryReducer":[],"eventsReducer":{},"fssReducer":{},"tvDailyScheduleReducer":{},"tvWeeklyScheduleReducer":{},"tvPrimetimeScheduleReducer":{},"tvMonthlyScheduleReducer":{},"userAccountReducer":{"routeTo":"","showDeleteConfirmModal":false,"user":{"userId":"","isFound":false,"firstName":"","lastName":"","phoneNumber":"","email":"","articles":[]}},"youthMediaReducer":{},"checkPleaseReducer":{"filterData":{},"restaurantData":[]},"reframeReducer":{"attendee":null},"location":{"pathname":"/news/tag/churches","previousPathname":"/"}}
