Below-market rentals for pastors and church staff — in the cities where you serve.
We're launching in California. Sign up now and be first in line when rentals open near your church.
You give everything to your city. You shouldn't have to leave it.
Even on a good salary, rent near your church in California's most expensive cities is out of reach for most families in ministry. Most pastors end up commuting from cities they can afford — or leaving the ministry they've spent years building. Foundations exists to change that.
Rentals built for ministry — not the market.
We rent exclusively to pastors and church staff — at below-market rates, with stable long-term leases. No hidden fees. No catches.
Getting your spot is simple

We reach out when something opens
When rentals open in your area, waitlist members get access first — in the order they signed up.
Move in at below-market rent
Sign your lease and move in. Foundations handles everything — management, maintenance, all of it. You focus on your ministry.
How we make below-market rent possible.
We acquire properties and develop each one to include additional homes. Our ownership structure is what makes below-market rent possible, allowing us to offer you stable, below-market rent without any hidden catches. It's a model built for the long term.
How is this different from just renting an apartment?
Foundations rentals are priced below what the market charges and they're exclusively for pastors and church staff. The application is simple and we understand what ministry income actually looks like.
Is there a catch?
No catch. The below-market rent is made possible by how we structure and develop each property — not by a subsidy that runs out or a hidden fee that shows up later. What you see is what you pay.
How do I qualify?
If you serve at a church or faith community in any capacity — pastor, staff, church planter — you qualify. We know ministry income looks different from a typical W-2 and our process is built around that reality.
How long can I stay in the rental?
Foundations rentals are multi-year leases. Lease terms vary by property and are spelled out clearly before you sign. As long as you're actively serving in ministry, your rent will always be below what the market charges.
What happens when my lease is up?
When your term ends, we'll work with you well in advance to explore your options — including applying for another Foundations rental if one is available in your area.
Who manages the rental?
Foundations manages every property in the network. Maintenance, repairs, any issues — that's on us. You focus on your ministry.
How quickly do rentals get filled?
Sign up early. When rentals open in your area, waitlist members get first access in the order they signed up.
When will rentals be available in my city?
We're launching first in West LA. Sign up now and you'll be first in line when rentals go live. If you're in another California city, join the waitlist and we'll notify you when we expand to your area.
You belong in the community you serve.
Be the first to know when rentals open near your church.
