Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 2 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them. About 1 in 5 the people here live without health insurance, and more than a third of adults live with obesity. That is 2,100 neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.
