Within about a mile of this church, more than 4 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them. About 3 in 4 the children here are growing up below the poverty line, and more than half of households aren't sure there will be enough to eat. That is two thousand neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.
