In 1957 Daniel became the Pastor of Antioch Missionary Baptist Church in Chicago. In the mid 1960s, under Daniel’s leadership, Antioch became the first church organization in the country to take advantage of Section 202 of the National Housing Act. Passed under President Dwight Eisenhower, Section 202 provides government loans for not-for-profit organizations such as Antioch to purchase land for developing low-income senior citizen housing. From those first townhouses and apartment units, Antioch has developed or rehabilitated more than 900 units for senior citizens, the handicapped, and families. This housing effort includes the Ft. Wayne, Indiana and joint ventures with the North Woodriver Baptist District Association and New Pisgah Baptist Church.
