Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 4 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them. More than half of households aren't sure there will be enough to eat, and nearly half of adults live with obesity. That is 2,300 neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.
