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. Nearly half of households aren't sure there will be enough to eat, and nearly half of adults live with obesity. That is 2,200 neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.
