CWN Editor's Note: The Archdiocese of Montreal has announced plans to form a real-estate program that will devote unused church properties to “pressing community needs.”
The Roman Catholic Real Estate Corp. of Montreal, a non-profit enterprise, will work with government and community organizations to “leverage real-estate development as a tool for community benefit.”
Housing experts note that many churches that are no longer open for worship are located centrally, and could be sold for modest prices that would allow for new development of affordable housing.
