Celebrating Good Samaritan & the Community Housing Partnership
We shared the sad news this past December that problems with the 10th Street house plumbing led the consistory to decide to demolish the house. All the details of the maintenance issues and economic considerations were covered in some detail at the December 8th congregational meeting.
We want to celebrate the ongoing ministry of Good Samaritan Ministries in addressing issues of homelessness and affordable housing. Their vision for the Community Housing Partnership (CHP) continues to bring long-term support to people struggling with housing insecurity. The partnership includes the Community Action House who provide case workers for each resident and local congregations who provide mentoring teams.
The Hope Church mentoring team is considering future options for how to continue to support families in the CHP program. The Community ministry will keep us up to date on those plans. For more information about housing issues, come to the adult education classes on February 9 and 16.
