The community around Christ of the Desert Newman Center

Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 3 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them. About a third of adults say they are socially isolated, and nearly a quarter describe their own health as fair or poor. That is two thousand neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.
