We help congregations maintain their mission and access tools to reevaluate the potential of their property.

Bricks & Mortals: We provide creative and sustaining solutions to help houses of worship thrive amidst the costly and challenging landscape of operating in New York City.
LET'S THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX

Houses of worship provide rich resources to New York City

regardless of faith, including social services, social justice advocacy, cultural programming, arts space, after-school programs, and community meeting space.

Houses of worship can act as one of few remaining community and public spaces

as space is increasingly privatized and gentrified in New York City.

This list can be used to identify trustworthiness and track record of experts for our use in consultation. We encourage you to reach out to Bricks and Mortals, or the Partnership, to receive thorough consultation.
