Make Housing Poverty History

According to the National Low Income Housing Coalition, there is not a single place in the entire country where a full-time, minimum-wage worker can afford to rent a one-bedroom apartment. We took a huge step toward increasing the minimum wage in the recent elections, but more work needs to be done to eliminate substandard poverty housing. The National Council of Churches has created a television documentary featuring John Edwards, Jack Kemp, and others, highlighting the problem and how businesses, faith groups, and non-profits can work together with the government to solve it. Faithful America is urging people to call their local NBC affiliate to make sure they add the documentary to their December lineup. For more information, visit the Faithful America website. You can see a clip of the documentary here.
