Impact Stories

“I don't know how we would do it without Aslan. It's challenging enough to fight the good fight for the spiritual health of people on this Peninsula. To have to do that while you're lifting the load of the housing crisis, the unbelievable weight—The pressure? It's almost unbearable. Aslan’s coming alongside our pastors, our staff, and they’re lifting that load for us in ways beyond what traditional thinking has done.”
Gary Gaddini
Former Pastor of PCC
“As a former para-ministry staff person with YoungLife I can fully understand and empathize with the problems we are facing by not providing long-term housing solutions in our local Christian communities. My focus on ministry is still just as passion-filled, except now I help those on the frontlines obtain their long-term dream homes alongside Aslan’s powerful finance ministry.”

Why I Give to Aslan

“I believe God puts us in unique positions to use our God-given skills, abilities, and experiences. Why do I partner with Aslan? To invest in future generations by helping pastors and nonprofit leaders get into sustainable housing so, in turn, these individuals can raise their families and invest in our local communities. Working with Aslan is part of my legacy as a real estate professional.”
Lori Burrows Warren

Bequests: Powerful. Easy. And a Testimony to Future Generations

“Living in Silicon Valley is a mission in itself and I understand the housing struggles facing our pastoral staff are overwhelming. So in addition to making annual donations to Aslan, I updated my estate to include a gift to Aslan.”
Clara Sharpless
“We're so happy that Aslan helped our retirement portfolio diversify into high-quality real estate. We hope Aslan is able to do this over and over for like-minded people.”

Aslan Staff Coaches

Offer Help and Hope

Coaches: Thanks for Volunteering!

“You can literally see their eyes light up: 'I get it now and this is really going to help me!' They start seeing it from a different perspective and you've now introduced hope to that situation! That's a real blessing for the coaches as well as— obviously—for the coachee.”
Jeff Sampson

YOU can make a difference

No. Everyone has a role to play in solving the pastoral housing crisis. Here are ways to help Aslan other than big donations:

  • Pray for us and the people and ministries we serve!
  • Don’t have cash or stock to give? Could you invest alongside us in an equity share?
  • Redirect some of your IRA funds to an Aslan investment. Self-directed IRAs are a great vehicle, easy, and by definition a source of patient capital that is ideal for equity shares.
  • Join us as a monthly donor…small amounts add up over time
  • Have a rental property or spare room? Let us help you rent it to a pastor at below-market rates. Go to the Aslan Marketplace
  • Volunteer to help us maintain our properties or post on social media

Yes, please!
You can contribute to a down payment on a ministry house alongside Aslan in an equity share. When the staff person leaves ministry or an exit is triggered, you get back the principal plus any market gain (or loss). Of course, there are many details but they are all spelled out and agreed to in advance. Don’t have the liquidity to invest? Consider a Self-Directed IRA. Transfer a chunk from any type of IRA account (say, a SEP at Vanguard or a Roth at Fidelity) and open a Self-Directed IRA—then invest it in an Aslan property.  Same as an equity share…it’s just the source of funds that is different.

The Impact of PCC's New Housing Policy

At Peninsula Covenant Church, the new campus-wide Policy led to an on-campus housing solution for its Community Center’s beloved Martina Alarcon.

“For us, moving into this house has been a huge unexpected help and blessing. We got the news when we most needed it. My youngest daughter was going through some health issues and this house enabled us to provide a safe, healing place for her. Our commute to work and school is no longer a burden, which alleviates the stress of gas prices. Expenses have become more manageable and we live in a nice, safe neighborhood. My goal for the future, God willing, is to have the possibility to buy my own house.”
Alexa, Martina & Ruth

Homeowners Offers House at Below Market

Lois & Walter Darbonne had been praying for a way that God could use their soon-to-be-vacant home.

“We have always felt our home was a gift from God. Being able to provide housing so that it enables people to do ministry here on the Peninsula is the most important thing to us. We are very, very grateful.” Aslan helped Lois meet pre-screened ministry staff as prospective tenants and provided a model lease. “It feels so much more like a partnership than just a landlord situation. As we’ve gone through the process with Aslan it’s just been so easy. This has blessed us.”
Lois & Walter Darbonne

Staff Peace of Mind

“It's no secret that living in the Bay Area is expensive. When I was a single young adult in a competitive rental market, Aslan represented me and my roommates in our negotiations with the landlord—and secured a beautiful home for us at a below-market rate. The Housing Committee process is thorough, fair, and efficient. The handoff to Aslan was smooth. With that placement, I enjoyed the peace of mind that comes with being in a healthy and sustainable living environment, peace of mind that extends into every aspect of life.”
