The community around James Lutheran Church
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. Nearly a quarter describe their own health as fair or poor, and about 1 in 10 the workforce is looking for work and not finding it. That is two thousand neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.
