The community around Central
Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 5 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them. Nearly half of adults live with obesity, and nearly half of the people here live below the poverty line. That is two thousand neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.
