Too many kids in our community have no place to call home—they live in cars,
shelters or on friends’ couches. That’s a reality we can’t live with. We must do
more to provide for our neighbors in crisis. And we must work to prevent that
crisis from happening in the first place. In spite of our community’s economic
progress, neighbors are being evicted and displaced. Houses that are affordable
for low-income renters are being bought by investors, leveled and replaced with
expensive new construction. People have to make the tough decision to leave the
neighborhoods they grew up in, the neighborhoods they are raising their families
in, because they can no longer afford them. Apart from stable housing, we believe
all people should have access to affordable, healthy foods. No child or parent
should have to worry about their next meal. Food, housing and assistance during
an emergency are fundamental human rights.
