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. About 2 in 3 the children here are growing up below the poverty line, and nearly half of the people here live below the poverty line. That is 2,300 neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.
