Clergy housing refers to residences provided for religious leaders, such as pastors, ministers, or priests, by their respective religious organizations. These homes are often located near the places of worship, allowing clergy to fulfill their duties more easily. The housing can vary in size and style, depending on the community and the resources of the religious institution. In many cases, clergy housing is offered as part of a compensation package, which may include utilities and maintenance. This arrangement helps ensure that religious leaders have stable living conditions, enabling them to focus on their spiritual and community responsibilities without the burden of housing costs.
