Aslan offers 1:1 housing coaching to all staff of PCC’s Center, Church, Preschool, and School Aged Child Care. Our goal is to understand how housing affects them personally, in their position at PCC, and their private goals. This coaching can help PCC staff ground their goals and strategies. It also ensures Aslan is co-creating housing solutions that meet price, location, size and other features important to staff. A core value of Aslan: Do nothing about staff without staff. Aslan has a committed team of advisors that help navigate real estate, personal budgeting, and lending.

Great question! Yes, wow, prices are high. Aslan is committed to long-term, equity-based solutions. This is expensive for Aslan. But the value is long-term stability and growth for staff and PCC. PCC rental assistance has a role in stabilizing the home situations for some staff. However, funds spent on that exit the PCC ecosystem and cannot be recouped. Instead, Aslan comes alongside staff wishing to buy a home and through a series of scaffolded steps moves them along the continuum from renting to home ownership.

Aslan is run by a seasoned group of executives with deep experience in real estate, development, law, philanthropy, insurance, planning, and finance. We have a team of advisors that provide strategic and tactical assistance.

Aslan doesn’t make this call. PCC’s Housing Committee decides who gets what form of housing assistance regardless of whether it is funded by Aslan or PCC. We think this is the best way to lean into our role as a supporting organization of PCC.  There is a set of qualitative and quantitative criteria that inform the Housing Committee decision-making process.

PCC Housing Policy

Housing Committee Charter

All full-time staff at PCC’s Center, Church, Preschool, and School Aged Child Care are eligible to receive housing coaching from Aslan. They are also encouraged to participate in the PCC Housing Committee’s annual compilation of employee information that is used in the decision-making process which assigns available resources to the best-qualified staff recipients. For more information, contact your PCC supervisor. Even if you don’t get assistance at first, keeping the Housing Committee up to date is important as staff transitions and available resources happen throughout the year.

Aslan, in cooperation with PCC, is committed to helping all full-time employees that advance the mission of PCC regardless of the PCC business unit of which they are a part. Historically, PCC just focused on housing for pastors. However, PCC has come to see itself as a mission with a church (rather than a church with a mission). Therefore, all staff are important to the mission. You might also have heard that there are tax issues associated with housing for pastors. Correct! Aslan and PCC work with staff to optimize housing assistance for tax purposes.
