This “Yes in God’s Backyard” movement is gaining traction across states, with laws in Washington, Oregon, and California supporting faith-based housing development. Idaho nearly passed similar legislation but it stalled. Advocates like Joe Bankard stress that while each church is unique, the impact is real: faith communities, with their prime real estate and mission-driven focus, are uniquely positioned to solve the housing crisis—without profit, with purpose, and with tangible results.
