This educational workshop for faith-based organizations will cover the fundamentals of real-estate use, adaptation, and development in New York City. Expert panelists will describe the possibilities, processes, players, risks, resources, and policy goals associated with the physical assets of communities of faith. This event is a collaboration between the AIANY Cultural Facilities Committee and Bricks and Mortals.
