Lawson Chapel

The community around Lawson Chapel

In the few miles around this church, more than 4 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them. More than a third of the children here are growing up below the poverty line, and about a third of adults say they are socially isolated. That is two thousand neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.
