The community around The Journey on Park Avenue

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 adults live with obesity, and about a third of adults here carry depression. That is 2,100 neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.
