Many do, but certainly all do not. The assets of the Catholic Church, for example, are incredibly vast compared to its purely charitable activities -- or its support for residential school survivors. And I won't even mention the (less mainstream) churches that have vastly enriched their founders.
So, it would have been good if this particular church had explictly planned and committed to build affordable housing. They did not, and we don't know what their motivations were for this decision. We likely won't find out, either, since their books are not public.
