The VLT model allows Church institutions to unlock the value of their land while retaining use, similar to the financial approach of Joseph in the Old Testament.
Who benefits from this program?
Clergy, religious communities, and Church institutions benefit by freeing resources, funding projects, and focusing on their core mission.
How does the sale-leaseback work?
Church land is sold to VLT for a lump sum, and the institution continues to occupy and be responsible for the property under a long-term lease.
Can the Church repurchase the land later?
Yes, lease agreements often include options for renewal and buy-back at the end of the term.
What types of properties are eligible?
Consolidated parishes, campuses, idle properties, or excess land are typically suitable for this model.
How does this help long-term planning?
Providing predictable rental income, liquidity for projects, and allows leadership to focus on evangelization and community work rather than fundraising.
