Grace Housing, Inc. operates with a commitment to sustaining and expanding the impact of Grace Lutheran’s charitable work.
Beyond managing affordable housing properties, GHI actively seeks to fund initiatives that address Santa Barbara’s community needs.
Its charitable grant program supports organizations focused on essential services, including food security, healthcare access, and housing solutions for vulnerable populations.

Prior to the establishment of Grace Housing, Inc. Grace Lutheran Church and its congregation has always had the vision of continued service to others, beginning as a small but dedicated group in the early 1900s with a mission to provide food for the hungry, shelter for people who are homeless, and supportive services for low income families, individuals and seniors.
Through its partnership with the Housing Authority of the City of Santa Barbara and California Lutheran Homes, Grace Housing Inc. has developed an ever-growing fund dedicated to future affordable housing projects in the greater Santa Barbara community.
This year, 15 nonprofits will receive a total of $148,000 in funding, with individual grants ranging from $5,000 to $25,000.
About Grance Housing, Inc.
Grace Housing Inc. was founded to steward the charitable legacy of Grace Lutheran Church, a long-standing Santa Barbara faith community that prioritized service and social good.
When the church transitioned out of regular worship services, its leadership made a transformational gift—donating land to the Housing Authority of the City of Santa Barbara.
Grace Village is a 58-unit affordable senior housing community created on the donated land. Opened in partnership with the Housing Authority of the City of Santa Barbara, it provides safe, supportive homes for low-income seniors.
Today, Grace Housing Inc., in coordination with California Lutheran Homes and the Housing Authority for the City of Santa Barbara, manages its remaining properties and business tenancies, using the rental income to generate annual charitable grants to organizations serving vulnerable populations in Santa Barbara County and a designated fund for future low-income housing in our community.
Through this innovative model, GHI continues to honor the mission of Grace Lutheran Church—supporting dignity, shelter, food security, and community connection, creating a living legacy of faith that keeps giving.
