Congregations reimagining unused property into community possibility
What is Good Acres?
Faith communities own 3,000 acres across San Antonio. Good Acres cultivates a city-wide network of congregations, real estate professionals, developers, civic leaders, and nonprofits to reimagine how property can serve mission and neighbors. Through monthly roundtables, an online hub for connection and resource-sharing, we create gathering spaces where ideas take root.
For congregations ready to activate their property, we offer individualized Good Acres Roadmaps—guiding them through visioning, community engagement, and partnerships with mission-aligned developers to create affordable housing, community spaces, and neighborhood projects.
Neighbors building a thriving, resilient San Antonio
What is Climate Ready Neighborhoods?
Climate Ready Neighborhoods builds everyday community resilience through a city-wide network of trusted PODs (Points of Distribution). In partnership with the City of San Antonio's Department of Resilience & Sustainability, we connect neighborhoods to resources, training, and capacity-building support for climate preparedness—from managing extreme heat and ensuring food access to navigating power outages and floods.
Through regular community workshops, resource sharing, access to partnerships, and toolkits for project planning, we work to increase resilience in the communities that need it most.
Houses of Faith Restoring Faith in Housing
What is Faith In Housing?
Faith in Housing is a city-wide initiative helping congregations find their role in addressing San Antonio's housing crisis—whether or not you own property. Using the Housing Impact Spectrum, you'll discover how your congregation can engage through Education, Advocacy, Volunteering, or Building affordable homes.
We connect you to the housing developers, nonprofit partners, and civic resources you need to take action. Whether you're just beginning to learn about housing challenges or ready to break ground on your property, we'll help you take your next faithful step.
Helping Hill Country neighbors return home again
What is Arcadia Recovery Collaboration?
Following devastating July 4th flooding in Kerr County, Arcadia Recovery Collaboration supports flood survivors by providing the furniture and home essentials families need to return home again. We connect resources across Central Texas, coordinating volunteer professionals as project managers, in-kind furniture donations, and installation day move-in support to help families rebuild their lives.
Join this community-driven response by volunteering your time, giving financial support, or if you're a flood survivor, completing a home help assessment to receive assistance.
