LAS VEGAS, Oct. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- BOXABL Inc., a pioneering leader in revolutionary modular housing solutions, which is currently in a S-4 registration process for its previously announced merger with FG Merger II Corp. (NASDAQ:FGMC), proudly announces two new contracts with Innovate ADU, one of its preferred builders in California. These include a 51-unit agreement with Grace Bible Church-Rialto and a 20-unit contract with Gateway Christian in San Bernardino, California, marking significant milestones in its rapidly expanding opportunity with faith-based development projects.
These contracts follow other 2025 deals through the BOXABL installer program, including partnerships with Bethel AME Church of Fontana (27 units), Hope to Change in San Bernardino (12 units), and Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City's Caritas Casitas project in Oklahoma (12 units), bringing the total value of closed contracts in the faith-based vertical to 122 units, worth approximately $7 million this year. The Caritas Casitas project, a 12-unit pocket neighborhood in Oklahoma City, is expected to see residents move in by October 2025, providing affordable housing for emergency voucher holders and women transitioning from homelessness. The California projects leverage California's Affordable Housing on Faith Lands Act (SB4), which streamlines zoning for faith-based housing developments, and similar policies in other states. The BOXABL installer program's expertise in regulatory navigation and project coordination has been pivotal in securing and executing these contracts.
"As Chief Financial Officer, I'm thrilled to see our faith-based vertical strategy gaining momentum, with projects like Grace Bible Church-Rialto and Gateway Christian," said Martin Costas, CFO of BOXABL. "By supplying Casita homes to faith-based organizations, we're helping address post-COVID challenges like declining congregations and revenues. Our homes enable these institutions to generate income, access grant funding, and increase property values while serving vulnerable populations like veterans, seniors, and those experiencing homelessness."
The faith-based vertical is a growing piece of BOXABL's strategy to address the global housing crisis. Faith-based organizations face reduced donations and membership, leading some to cut programs or close. BOXABL's 361-square-foot Casita units, equipped with a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and living area, transform underutilized land into vibrant housing communities. These projects attract grant funding, enhance property values, and boost visibility, potentially growing congregations.
The Yes In God's Backyard (YIGBY) movement, fueled by favorable legislations, amplifies this opportunity. According to the Tener Center at UC Berkeley, California's SB4 unlocks 171,000 acres of faith-owned land, potentially supporting 342,000–500,000 affordable housing units across 3,000–6,000 faith-based organizations. It is estimated by the Partnership for Strong Communities at UC Berkeley, that thousands of faith-based organizations control land capable of supporting over 800,000 homes across the nation. Similar laws in Washington, Maryland, Virginia, and Hawaii streamline development.
A recent example is the Oklahoma City's Caritas Casitas, where 12 Casita units, facilitated by BOXABL, will provide affordable housing:
BOXABL is launching a nationwide marketing campaign to engage more faith-based organizations and nonprofits, particularly in states with YIGBY policies.
